Web Developer and Online Marketing
Initially focused on back end development in PHP. Now my responsibilities have expanded to front end development and marketing. I work with PHP, JavaScript, CSS and HTML, either setting up CMS sites such as WordPress or Drupal, or doing custom development (I’ve even worked on some C#/asp.net sites). On the marketing front, I’ve worked on numerous sites, improving their SEO and setting up adwords and bing campaigns.
