I’m in love with this wonderful website called Codeable, and I have a long history with WordPress and Wordpress Security and Speed Optimization on large sites. I began my journey into software 13 years ago. Back then, I was a wide eye doe, eager to soak up anything web related. I made my home in the beautiful city of Austin, the silicon valley of Texas. I was going to school at UT, where I eventually gratuated from with my bona-fide Computer Science degree. My passion is WordPress. They call me the exterminator, because I love hunting down your pesky bugs. I’m a predator, and the code is my prey. No bug is safe. Terminator One of my favorite aspects of web developent, is the sheer number of technologies one can use. Nowadays, WordPress is being mixed with other frontend and backend tools. I’m familiar with most of them — so if your WordPress website has any other techs involved, rest easy knowing that I can handle anything you throw my way. Techs My clients are my life. I am here to solve your problems. I want to make your WordPress website better, faster, harder, stronger. Want to get a feel for how I work? Recently, I created a WordPress plugin that allows you to showcase your Etsy items on WooCommerce. Check out this little timelapse video I put together of my session, from start to finish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAP_gsJBJeE&feature=youtu.be As you can see, I keep my code clean. I use MVC architecture to keep the logic separated from the views, which is good code organization. I comment my code well, as a road map for anyone else working with it in the future. Well, have you seen enough? My fingers are tingling — hurry up and hire me for your WordPress project! Top 3 Skills 1 Site Migrator – Let me get your new site up on a fast server quickly. 2 Speed Demon – Slow websites are painful to me. Let me turbo-charge your website and let it be the speed demon we all know it is! 3 Bug Hunter – Website bugs. I will find you, and I will kill you.

My ecommerce website was suddenly slowing down and crashing. Jake literally saved me in a couple of hours, while my hosting provider had spent almost 2 days providing me with contradicting information. His approach was clear, logical and understandable, even to a non-expert like me. The problem was solved quickly and I have been regularly informed about all the step. I think I finally found the expert I was looking for :-)

Jake's communication skills for someone like me, who has only reasonable dev skills, were indispensable. He works quickly and we were super happy to see our page speed jump after he migrated and optimized our site. Thanks, Jake!

Jake is thorough and trustworthy, particularly important in this case as project is a database/security audit of a long-established site with many layers.

Jake did a phenomenal job. He is very patient, detailed and very articulate in your replies and explanations. Communication was fluid at all times during the project. Jake also went a bit out of his way to teach me a trick or two that added to his commitment with this project.

Jake was an absolute pleasure to work with even when the project due date changed around. He was communicative about all changes and where we were at. I will be using Jake for any future projects.
