Hi, I’m glad you are here. I am an expert WordPress and Full Stack Developer with over 10 years of experience. I specialize in building custom WordPress themes, plugins, and multisite configurations, as well as seamlessly integrating a wide range of third-party functionalities into WordPress. I have ample experience with HTML5, CSS3, PHP, Javascript, MySQL, REST API, SCSS, Tailwind, and Boostrap, just to mention a few. I like to think of myself as more of a minimalist creator than a developer when it comes to using WordPress. Most of the clients I’ve designed custom WordPress sites for want enhanced functionality while maintaining the simplicity of tweaking elements—like changing a button colour—without any coding knowledge. I focus on integrating modern design principles and UX/UI best practices into simple yet elegant solutions that leave a positive and lasting impact on your users. Here are some of my areas of expertise in WordPress: Custom Plugin Development Whether it’s a bespoke admin panel, a custom dashboard for user interactions, or unique site functionality, I’ll bring your ideas to life with tailored plugins that enhance your website’s capabilities. Custom Theme Development From scratch or based on an existing design, I’ll craft themes optimized for performance, aesthetic appeal, and usability, while ensuring responsive design and SEO-readiness. API Integration - Calendars and Scheduling Systems - Automated Email Updates - Payment Gateways (Stripe, PayPal) - Google Maps Integration - Social Media APIs (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) - Custom REST API Connections Custom Code and Styling I will extend WordPress’s built-in styling with custom CSS, SCSS, and JavaScript, achieving unique designs and advanced functionality beyond the default WordPress themes. Headless CMS I will decouple your site’s front-end and back-end, using WordPress as a headless CMS integrated with frameworks like React or Vue.js for high performance and flexibility. Site Localization and Translation I will set up your site in multiple languages using tools like WPML or Polylang, ensuring global accessibility and proper RTL (Right-to-Left) support. Modern Front-End Integration I will redesign your site using modern front-end technologies such as React, Tailwind CSS, and Bootstrap for clean, fast, and interactive user interfaces. Hosting, Scaling, and Optimization Hosting on platforms like WP Engine, Kinsta, or Cloudways Optimizing for high-traffic handling and scalability Performance enhancements through lazy loading, image optimization, and CDN integration Security Enhancements - I implement robust security measures like: - SSL setup - Protection against malware and brute force attacks - Secure file permissions and database configurations Block Development I utilize React, JSX, and the WordPress Block API to create custom Gutenberg blocks tailored to your website’s needs. Multisite Development I build and manage WordPress multisite networks for organizations, franchises, or multi-brand setups, ensuring centralized control with localized customizations. Database Maintenance I will optimize and maintain your WordPress database to ensure fast query times, proper caching, and reduced overhead. Testing and Debugging Through debugging with tools like Query Monitor, Debug Bar, and browser developer tools, I will ensure flawless functionality and bug-free performance. E-commerce Development I will set up a scalable WooCommerce store with: - Custom product pages and checkout flows - Integration of payment methods (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) - Shipping and tax configurations - Inventory management systems Let’s have a chat and get your website up and running with the functionality and simplicity you need. Peace.

Having established a strong educational foundation, I successfully completed the four-year Kenya High School program with a solid grade of B in the National Exam. I’m trilingual in English, Somali, and Swahili, which allows me to deliver accurate and culturally sensitive translations. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Public Health at Kenyatta University, where I’m building advanced knowledge in health communication, research, and community engagement. Alongside my studies, I work part-time as a freelance translator and interpreter, providing reliable language support for clients and remote customer service projects. I have developed strong translation and communication skills, and I take pride in producing clear, natural, and context-appropriate work. I’m passionate about helping clients bridge language gaps and am eager to take on new opportunities in translation, virtual office assistance and related fields.
