Let me answer some of your questions.

you'll find answers to questions that potential employers, collaborators, and visitors often ask.
I'm committed to transparency and open communication, and this FAQ page is designed to provide you with insights into my experience, approach, and values as a web developer.

  • I am skilled in a range of technologies and programming languages relevant to web development. This includes:

    1. HTML
    2. CSS
    3. JavaScript
    1. TypeScript
    2. PHP
    3. Node.js

    And framework and infrastructure technologies such as:

    1. WordPress
    2. Laravel
    3. Next.js
    1. React.js
    2. Express.js
    3. MySQL
    1. Sequelize
    2. Linux
    3. Nginx
    1. Git (VCS)
    2. GitHub
    3. CI/CD
    1. PM2
    2. REST API

    I started my career with WordPress (2 years), then moved to Laravel, React and Node.js, and now Next.js with TypeScript. That path lets me pick the right tool for each project, whether it's a client-managed WordPress site or a custom web application.

  • Yes. I use Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and GitHub Copilot every day to scaffold components, debug faster, write documentation, and audit SEO. For example, I used Claude Code to audit this portfolio's technical SEO, then moved project and blog content to server rendering, fixed the heading structure, and added structured data. AI speeds up the busywork, but I make the decisions and review every line before it ships.
  • I prefer working in a Linux environment, particularly Ubuntu. I find that Linux provides a stable and customizable platform for web development. I use code editors like Visual Studio Code to write and debug code efficiently. Additionally, I rely on version control systems like Git and GitHub to manage and collaborate on projects.
  • I start by thoroughly understanding the requirements and breaking down the problem into smaller tasks. I research and explore potential solutions, leveraging online resources and documentation as needed. Testing and debugging are crucial stages, where I ensure the code is efficient and free of errors. I also seek feedback and collaborate with peers to arrive at optimal solutions.
  • Security is a top priority in my development process. I follow industry best practices to help protect websites from common vulnerabilities. I use HTTPS to encrypt data transmission, sanitize user inputs to reduce risks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), and implement authentication and authorization where needed. Regular updates, security patches, and awareness of evolving threats are essential parts of my workflow.
  • I use a mobile-first approach, where I design and style the website for mobile devices first and then gradually enhance it for larger screens. I utilize CSS media queries to adapt layouts and styles based on screen sizes, ensuring a seamless experience on smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
  • I believe in writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code. I follow consistent naming conventions, clear structure, and readable formatting. I also apply the DRY principle to reduce duplication, use Git for version control, and rely on linting tools such as ESLint to help maintain code quality and consistency.
