I am a PHP developer, system administrator, and overall jack-of-all-trades engineer. I have over 10 years experience combined in numerous languages, platforms, and technologies.
I have special experience in automation, game development, web hosting/vps hosting/cloud, and web scraping. I have been in the hosting sector for over 5 years and know every major system there is outside of windows.
Specific to WordPress I have special experience with the Pods plugin, W3TC (caching), WP-Rocket (caching and minify), and I prefer using roots.io for building themes from scratch as it uses proper tools like grunt, frameworks like bootstrap, and languages like SASS. I have personally been a contributor and bounty hunter for pods for over 6 months and use it for every site I can.
However even if I do not have extensive or any prior experience to your plugin or theme, I am a very quick learner and will have no issues resolving or building anything you require.
The one thing I unfortunately can not take on is any design work. If you give a mock-up or a visual reference, I can create it in most cases. I can also fix UI’s if there is an issue and do minor changes, and sometimes even major. But the heart of my skill set lies in engineering as a backend engineer despite being a full stack engineer.
What I do is my passion and I take pride in doing it properly. I have been a developer and learning since I was 10 and I have never stopped. I love learning and most importantly I love and thrive on a challenge to learn more.

Customer reviews
because he's good. Because he helps. Because he put up with me. That's a major biggie.
Derrick is the best person I've worked with for speed optimization. I own an agency and he is a developer's developer and an invaluable resource if you have something that is particularly tricky. That said, even if you have something simple, then why not have one of the best in the business do it faster and better.
very diligent and patient.

Derrick was very thorough and knowledgeable. I would love to work with him again.
Derrick is patient and understanding that I'm not coding or knowledgeable on the various programs needed for my project, yet took the time to educate me on the recommendations and the reasons why A is better than B so we have a straight path to reach the big picture of the project.
