I’m a WordPress Developer, Technical Support Specialist and QA Analyst based in Nice, on the French Riviera. I work for Whodunit, a renowned French agency, specialized in WordPress websites. I also have the Opquast Certification of Expert in Web Quality.
Previously, I provided technical support for two big actors in the WordPress ecosystem, The Events Calendar and LearnDash. I also co-founded with my Kiwi wife Tiger & June, a web agency specialized in frontend development and custom WordPress themes.
WordPress is more than a job, it's a passion: I’m the co-organizer of a Meetup group dedicated to WordPress in my local area since 2014, and I've co-organized the first WordCamp held in Nice, in October 2018.
In my spare time, I love watching rugby, practicing kung-fu, skiing as fast as I can, reading Beatnik literature, traveling around the world, going to post-rock shows, learning Japanese and plenty of other things 😄
At the moment, I work as a web developer in the support and maintenance unit of Whodunit, a full remote web agency specialized in WordPress websites. Whodunit is also one of the main contributors to the WordPess open-source project.
As a freelancer, I've been providing Technical Support for two of the most renowned plugin companies in the WordPress industry: The Events Calendar (2018-2021) and LearnDash (2020-2021). I also briefly worked for ThemeIsle's themes and plugins.
I co-founded with my wife Tiger & June, a web agency specialized in WordPress development. We offered various services like custom theme design and development, managed WordPress hosting, website maintenance, content strategy and SEO consulting.
I was doing both frontend and backend development for Color Screen, a local web agency. I was using PHP, HTML, CSS, Ajax and JavaScript. The work was mostly done on the agency's proprietary CMS. The agency also had a portfolio of WordPress websites to manage.
As an intern, I provided webmastering & community management for a French-Chinese start-up specialised in printing books on demand. Based in Shanghai, my mission included the creation of custom templates for the in-house cms and email campaigns and SEO for the company's blog.
As an intern in Shenzhen (China), my mission was to develop and maintain a multilingual e-commerce website for a company specializing in the development of software for tablets and smartphones. The platform was developed with WordPress and WooCommerce.
I've been working in the WordPress industry for a decade. I've created, customized, maintained and debugged hundreds of sites. I have used dozens and dozens of plugins. I've written thousands of lines of code. Thanks to my experience, my skills and my knowledge of WordPress, I'm confident that I can take your website to the next level 😎
Whether a site is down or really slow, I can intervene to find the origin of the problem and eventually solve it — or at the very least suggest solutions. Furthermore, I can deal with other technical tasks such as site migration, website hardening, staging site creation, etc.
As weird as it sounds, I love maintaining WordPRess websites. You can count on me to proceed with safe updates, daily backups, security hardening and all these different tasks that can be head-scratching, risky and time consuming.
I can customize any theme to better suit the owner's brand or desires - whether it's a custom theme or a premium theme. Depending on the needs, I can also add functionality to the site. Besides, I can code a tailor-made WordPress theme from a web design made on a PSD or figma file, with performance, security, accessibility and SEO-friendliness at the center of my concerns.
Not only can I fully take care of the hosting of your WordPress website so that the owner doesn't need to worry about things like FTP or database, but I can also optimize its overall performance and security.
While I can't do miracles, I can definitely make any WordPress website as SEO-friendly as it can be. I can also accompany the owner and recommend them ways to improve their online visibility.
As a QA analyst, I can write and run manual and automated tests, to ensure the software quality of the product.
As a freelancer, I've been providing Technical Support for The Events Calendar suit of plugins since March 2018. My role notably includes the participation in troubleshooting and triaging of issues with teams to drive root cause identification and resolution. I've been also working as a QA engineer, ensuring product quality through development cycle.
I've been working as a Technical Support Specialist for LearnDash since January 2020. I diagnose and troubleshoot software problems and provide assistance to LearnDash's clients. Besides, I help improve the plugin and its addons' documentation and enhance the company's products.
LuluCastagnette has been a client of Tiger & June since 2016. We created a website for the brand, and I've been providing maintenance and managed WordPress hosting since then.
Switch (on Paper) is an online editorial platform. I managed the website for a couple of years and helped improve the product.
Altersis is a young and fast growing company providing technological and IT service. With the help of a web designer and another frontend developer, I created a custom WordPress theme for the company. After launch, I've hosted and maintained the website, and provided technical support.
Working with another frontend developer at Tiger & June, I created a tailor-made WordPress theme using ACF Pro, developing along the way some custom functionalities for the client.
