About Me
My name is Sara Kozińska. I was born on 21.10.1987 in Warsaw, Poland. Currently I live in sunny Barcelona, Spain, where I live with my stubborn (but still cute) French bulldog Lilo.
From the moment I could tie my shoelaces without tripping over, I've been sure i am gonna be vet. Happily for animals, few years later i got my first computer, and then change the idea of what i want to do for living in the future. Along the way, I've picked up a few more hobbies to keep life spicy: snowboarding, wakeboarding, cooking and good entertainment.
Expertise
I have 15+ years of experience in code development industry!!!
Yes, I have been speaking with computers for over 15 years! That's over 500,000 hours of good work! I dare your company to challenge me!
I started programming in high school with Action Script (Macromedia Flash) and basic HTML / CSS. From there I dived into the world of content management systems such as Joomla, PrestaShop, Magento, Drupal, and Shopify which led to my specialization in WordPress development (WordPress powers 65.2% of all websites using any content management system).
I've worked with the most popular WP Page Builders / Themes (Avada, Divi, Elementor...), and quite a large amount of well-known WP plugins, so I have the ability to detect the most common issues/bugs and fix them in a very quick time. Coding custom themes, I was often creating (on the base of ACF PRO's Flexible Content field) custom page builders, tailoring them to client needs and experience. Now my switch is definitely to creating custom Gutenberg blocks.
My strongest WordPress developer skills are in custom code and optimization. I create new themes, plugins, and blocks from scratch, and I am always looking for the most efficient, modern strategies for my projects.
I am most enthusiastic at the moment about:
- WordPress Development: Gutenberg, Fullsite editing, headless WP (REACT, VUE, TypeScript, Faust.js),
- Jamstack: [REACT / VUE.js / TypeScript] + [Sanity.io / Prismic / Netlify / Strapi],
- GSAP (GreenSock), ANIME.JS,
- Google Firebase products,
- AWS,
- AI (Python developent, NLP, CoT, RAG, Web Scraping).
I'm not asking you to take my word for it; I challenge you to take my references into account, or even better, let me prove myself in practice!
