May 2014 - Present
I’m self employed. After finishing my apprenticeship in the mid 2010s, I took ‘the plunge’ and began creating websites for friends and family. It has since blossomed into a way of making a living. With technology growing rapidly, I design and build responsive websites (usually based on CMS) and keep them updated for a range of individuals and businesses, and retain a good reputation for social media marketing. I also audit brands and suggest/implement the appropriate changes, thus increasing the brand’s growth and increasing sales both online and in person. I also design & manage affiliate websites and work on its SEO to generate sales through those said websites. I also assist companies with technical issues. Experienced in Ubuntu and Windows Server 2019.
