Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Since 2009, I have been developing and maintaining WordPress and Joomla websites for medium-sized companies. Over 100 projects – from simple company websites to complex WooCommerce shops.

My focus is on individual plugin and theme development, accessibility (BFSG/WCAG), SEO optimization, and long-term support. I work as a personal point of contact at eye level – not as an anonymous agency.

Technically, I work with PHP, JavaScript, React, Node.js, MySQL, and modern deployment workflows. I am currently also developing my own SaaS product: an AI chatbot for WordPress (inqiro.de).

I work remotely from the Cologne area and am flexibly available.
