Hello, thanks for taking the time to read this! I started my career unsure of where I would land and soon discovered that I enjoy coding and creating websites. My employers supported my journey from content creation to web development, and by the end of 2016 I was building and managing WordPress websites full-time. Since then I have continued to learn and grow. From January 2019 to November 2024 I lived and worked in England as a sole trader doing the same work. Currently I do project and retainer work with Pomegranate Online Presence Consultancy where I build WordPress (mostly) websites and maintain all of their retainer client websites. I also do project-based freelance projects. I am highly conscientious, organized and honest. This role genuinely intrigues me and I would love to be considered.
