With two decades of hands-on experience in both agency and independent settings, I bring a passion for crafting tailored solutions. From intuitive design to seamless functionality, my work centers on responsive, maintainable websites that empower clients to take ownership of their content. I’m well-versed in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and responsive design. I have extensive experience working with WordPress creating custom themes and have used the Gutenberg block editor, DIVI, Kadence blocks, Elementor Pro and ACF Pro. My projects have included everything from dynamic e-commerce websites with payment gateways to multilingual websites with an array of custom post types. Each one reflects my commitment to quality and user experience. Beyond my technical capabilities, I take pride in being adaptable, self-driven, and keen to evolve with emerging technologies. My former manager, Melissa Dyson, shared a reflection that truly captures my work ethic: "I had the pleasure of managing Jason, and he’s certainly a developer you can always count on. He’s sharp, resourceful, and always finds a way to get things done, no matter how complex the task. On top of that, he’s just a great person to have on the team. Jason brings good vibes to the workplace and makes collaboration easy and enjoyable. Any dev team would be lucky to have him, and I’d happily work with him again in a heartbeat."
