About You
You are a technically advanced developer who takes ownership of your work from initial planning through deployment and post-launch support. You do not rely exclusively on themes, plugins, or page builders to solve every problem. You understand when an existing tool is appropriate and when custom development is the better solution.
You are proactive, dependable, and comfortable explaining technical concepts to nontechnical team members. Most importantly, you care about the quality of the final product—not simply whether the code technically works.
