Available to hire
Hi, I’m Michael Turner, a Senior Web Developer with over 15 years of experience specializing in custom WordPress, PHP, and JavaScript solutions. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of Canada’s top agencies and well-known global brands, focusing on scalable CMS architecture, custom themes and plugins, and leading development teams to deliver outstanding digital products. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love solving complex problems with modern technologies.
I am passionate about building accessible, SEO-friendly, and high-performance websites using tools like React, Laravel, Docker, and AWS. I enjoy collaborating with stakeholders and mentoring junior developers, always aiming to improve workflows and deployment strategies. When I’m not coding, I’m probably exploring new design tools or learning about the latest in full-stack development.
