WJDtools was stuck on an old PrestaShop store. i moved 3,500+ products to WordPress and WooCommerce without breaking the Linnworks and eBay setup the team already ran on.

2016 – 2022discrete math was my fave subject at college. one of our fun activities was solving a 3x3 Rubik’s cube. i got hooked. i’m up to 7x7 now.
that’s most of why i do this. i like the part where something doesn’t work yet and i can’t see why. web dev suited me because the feedback is instant. as a student i’d toggle an h2 to an h3 just to watch the page move haha
i graduated BS IT in 2014. started with WordPress, then more PHP with the OG CodeIgniter, internal team apps in Python and FastAPI, and builders like Shopify, Webflow, and Squarespace. whatever was requested, really.
clients say what they like is that i ask questions. i’d rather ask something obvious in week one than build the wrong thing well.
tell me what you’re building, improving, or trying to untangle.
a rough idea is fine, i’ll ask the rest.
