Resume & Portfolio

Hello and welcome to my online resume and portfolio. My name is Radley, and I'm a WordPress Developer with 18 years of experience in web development. As a small exercise, this resume and portfolio is custom a built with source code available on GitHub.

I'm proficient with many design and development tools and maintain several Unix-based web servers. My day-to-day work involves maintaining hosted websites for clients, developing custom themes and plugins, and optimizing websites for speed and performance.

Preferred Software

Most of my projects are built with PHPStorm, along with Git for version control. My AI tool of choice is GitHub Copilot. For design I prefer using Figma for layout, Photoshop for graphic design, and Inkscape for vector graphics. I use ShareX for taking screenshots and OBS for recording videos.

WordPress Specialist

I have focused exclusively on WordPress development since 2017. Recently I've been working with Full Site Editor and the block themes.

Hobbies

I enjoy painting with acrylics and oils, riding my road bike, and playing all kinds of games. My favorite game is Dungeons & Dragons where I prefer a spell-casting Wizard or Cleric, unless I'm the DM.

Testimonials

  • Erik Contzius

    Women Cantors' Network

    Radley embodies the best of a partner in development. He really knows his way around databases, WordPress, and has a good design sense to boot. Radley intuits solutions to problems, both anticipated and unexpected. He is patient and more than willing to debug problems that arise. His communication skills are excellent.

  • Jamie Stephens

    Brantford Experts

    Radley took my ideas and ran with them -- the end result is a solution that does more than I originally planned and I couldn't be more thrilled! He was prompt in replying to my messages and I was provided with detailed updates along the way. If you're looking for a developer, Radley really knows his stuff. Stop scrolling and send him a message now, you won't regret it. Thank you Radley!

  • Joey Curtin

    Stop Pet Overpopulation Today

    Radley rescued SPOT's sorely neglected and out of date website and transformed it into a wonderful new public face in an amazingly short time! He added video, streamlined every section of the site and added a much needed on-line application option for our clients. His excellent suggestions and creative genius throughout the site have increased our traffic and accessibility tremendously. He is extremely professional and pleasant to work with (really listening carefully and patiently explaining all the steps he was taking to our team of non-techies). We will definitely use his services again and would highly recommend his technical talent and business acumen!

  • Zack P.

    I worked with Radley for about five years in the agency world. My business partner and I hired Radley when he was a brand-new developer; inexperienced, but bright, eager, and motivated. In a very short amount of time, Radley grew into a brilliant developer and became our agency's lead developer. He and I worked in-tandem on dozens of websites over the years. He has qualities that are vital to successful programming. Firstly, he takes great personal pride in his work. His personal expectations of quality exceed that of those around him, and that makes his work superb. Radley is also a creative problem solver. We often joked that "if a client can dream it, Radley can build it". And finally, Radley's greatest luxury is his ability to articulate complex concepts both in "programmer-speak", and layman's terms. I've had Radley write summaries for clients, where his layman's term verbiage is so eloquent that I just copy and paste it to my client. For those of you familiar with web developers, you know this is extremely rare. He's the ultimate 5-tool player, and you should certainly hire him.

  • Jeff H.

    Radley is an absolute pleasure to work with. He's professional, organized, and efficient. The thing I looked most about working with him is his communication. He explains things thoroughly and succinctly. He's an all-around outstanding contractor.
