Github: kdaviesnz Packagist: kdaviesnz My name is Kevin Davies and I specialize in developing web based applications and wordpress plugins. I am a professional web developer with over 14 years web application experience. I am experienced in working with PInterest, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, phpBB, aWeber, pInterest and other web based applications. I have also developed Node and MERN applications. I have developed wordpress themes and I have written a number of wordpress plugins including a twitter wordpress plugin, a plugin that turns key words into affiliate links, and extended the maxblogpressplugin. I have worked with and customized open-source web applications such as egroupware, oscommerce, phpbb, and others. I have also worked with the YouTube API, the Google adwords API, and other APIs. Here’s what you get when you hire me: Expertise in building Wordpress plugins and web applications. Front-ends built to be responsive so your web app will work on as many different devices as possible. Expertise and experience in creating reusable REST APIs. This means that you can use an API for one project and use it again in another project. For example I’ve created APIs for getting and saving stock information, a fitness API etc. Expertise and experience in using various third party RESTful APIs including Facebook, aWeber, and YouTube. Code that: - uses modern php practices including namespaces, closures, traits, and return type declarations. - is PSR (PHP Standards recommendation) 1, 2, 3 and 4 compliant. - uses latest stable version of php (7.0) - component-based. - is unit tested. Still not convinced? Here’s what others have said about me: Kevin has displayed his commitment and devotion to making sure I’m a happy customer and that my plugin works like I want/need it to! He’s gone far above and beyond to make sure I have a great piece of kit so I would highly recommend that you seriously consider using him for any projects related to his skill sets. – RS Kevin is the real deal. He delivers high quality wp programming for an unbelievable price. Not only that but he is on time and responsive. One of best people I have EVER worked with in this industry. – AS Kevin is an outstanding programmer and a great communicator. When interviewing him for our project recently, he showed a lot of professionalism, patience and out of the box thinking. I highly recommend Kevin for all your programming needs. – A I hired Kevin to make a code modification to a wordpress theme on one of my sites, and I’m extremely happy with his services. I sent him a description of what needed to be done, and the very next day the task was complete. I’ll DEFINITELY be hiring Kevin for future jobs, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wordpress developer. – H Since Kevin did such a great job last time, I hired him again for another project. I have to say… he is a very easy developer to deal with. He fit my project into his schedule right away, the work for each task was completed within 24 to 48 hours… I can’t recommend Kevin highly enough. If you’re looking for a wordpress developer, he should be your FIRST choice. Okay, I have been working with Kevin for a bit now, and all I can say is: WOW! It is sooooo rare to find someone who is so fast, responsive, and a great developer. I WILL be using him for more projects. Oh, and I forgot to mention: His prices are almost too good to be true! Warriors, he is my new go to guy for wp stuff. Thanks so much Kevin! – AS Kevin developed a plugin for me and I just wanted to say that he did a fantastic job and was very professional. He delivered the plug-in promptly and helped iron out a couple bugs. Very professional and highly recommended. Thanks Kevin! – NA Wow! I just used Kevin Davies for a small project involving PHP sites. Fast service. Great communication. Very reasonable cost. Highly recommended. Thanks, Kevin! – TB I just wanted to tell you all what a wonderful programmer/developer/genius Kevin Davies is…. He did some development work for me that I must say is absolutely what I wanted… and he is always there, and quick … man is he quick. All I can say is, if you have a development Project, and are looking for the right programmer, to get it done exactly how you want it, then Kevin is your guy. Thanks so much Kevin, Sincerely, Ted
