WordPress Developer & Web Specialist
Born in South Africa and raised in Eswatini (Swaziland) and White Rock, Canada, I’ve spent most of my life in Austria working on digital projects and building practical web solutions for people and businesses.
My core stack is WordPress, PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with a strong focus on performance optimization, hosting/VPS management, and automation to create fast, reliable, and user-friendly websites.
Beyond tech, I’m interested in mental health practices, personal growth, reading, and tinkering with tools, systems, and new ideas — always learning and improving both professionally and personally.
