Hi, I’m glad you are here.
I am Brian, an expert Kiswahili teacher, tutor, lyrics translator, subtitler, English-to-Swahili translator, Swahili researcher, and WordPress developer. I began my journey as a Swahili teacher at a local school in Nairobi, Kenya, which helped me cultivate my passion for linguistics. From there, I evolved into a local language expert and researcher.
One aspect that defines my expertise in Swahili is my deep understanding of my local East African people, our dialects, and the subtle differences that highlight our uniqueness to the world. Having travelled and lived across the East African region, including Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, I take pride in understanding the cultural nuances of these Swahili-speaking nations.
Also a Senior WordPress developer with 5+ years of experience and $20k+ earned on Upwork.
I take pride in helping businesses build, solve issues, migrate and maintain WordPress websites, online stores and build custom plugins. My strength lies in looking at existing WordPress projects: fixing old code, fixing bugs, improving their architecture, integrating APIs and making the site easier to manage.
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 optimised 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 Localisation 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 Optimisation
Hosting on platforms like WP Engine, Kinsta, or Cloudways
Optimising for high-traffic handling and scalability
Performance enhancements through lazy loading, image optimisation, 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 utilise 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 organisations, franchises, or multi-brand setups, ensuring centralised control with localised customisations.
Database Maintenance
I will optimise 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.
