Skills
phpStorm
phpStorm speeds up development workflows significantly by enforcing coding standards, auto-formatting code, awesome keyboard shortcuts, and embeded terminal.
Grunt
Grunt is used to compile SCSS and Javascript files into single source files. This drastically cuts down HTTP requests and makes a website much faster, especially on mobile devices.
MAMP
MAMP allows developers to simulate a server on their local development machine. This allows me to work faster and use xDebug to identify complicated issues.
GIT
GIT tracks changes in files and allows developers to work on multiple features at the same time in separate branches. GIT also allows restoring files from a previous point in time.
ACF
Advanced Custom Fields allows developers to create extremely custom WordPress interfaces for clients who want to manage their content.
AWS
Load Balancers, Auto Scaling Groups, and virtual servers in the cloud... What more can you want? AWS can be complex, but that is why I am here to help.
Behat
Automated Behavioral Testing ensures that applications don't break when new features are released. These automated tests are run before deployment to verify previous features are working correctly.
Loader.io
Loaderio is used to stress test a website/application to see how many users can be active at one time and identify bottlenecks.
