Freelance web designer and WordPress developerAbout me
I spend most of my time on projects related to web design and WP theme development. When I'm not occupied by work, I'm trying to catch up with the ever-evolving technologies outside of the WP ecosystem.
I would like to continue advancing my front-end skills; I'm planning on learning Vue JS and Laravel, and I’m trying to build WordPress blocks with React.

Recent projects
Alex Penda
WordPress site; subcontract — theme and plugin development onlyA big chunk of this site's content is shown with AJAX requests, which was fairly new for me. The site utilises new post type for some of its content — the events; this feature is handled by a plugin to ensure that the content will continue to appear after a theme change.
E and S Tax Services
WordPress site; design and developmentI tried to make this site as easy to maintain as I can; almost all of its content is handled by the block editor, widget areas and a custom post type.
Oborishte 5
WordPress site; subcontract — theme and plugin development onlyThis project required the building of quite a few unique page templates handled mostly by custom fields (ACF) and a custom post type
Side projects
Sand Carousel WP
This is a WordPress carousel plugin. It utilises a custom post type for the slide creation and a shortcode for the insertion. The slides are grouped into a custom taxonomy; every group represents a single carousel. The carousel comes with a minimal design that's easy to rewrite and fairly semantic HTML.
