Freelance web developer
AJ is a professional developer with more than 15 years (that's ~ 30.000 hours!) of work experience in programming and design for the web.
Although I have a degree in Graphic Design, since the beginning of my career I have worked in the internet medium in one way or another. Take a look at my Resumé for details.
Areas of expertise:
-
Completely customized PHP CMS solutions using Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla.
Customizing the functionality to offer 100% personalized solutions adapted to the specifics of the project. And of course, I can always provide original designs either made from scratch or based on any available template.
-
Custom web apps with Zen Framework.
Highly customized or specialized websites; Web apps; Mobile web apps; Integration of existing software;... It is fast, error-free, easy to maintain and high quality.
-
Web applications using Python and Django
This is my prefered programming language and framework nowadays, providing the perfect setup for smart and simple web solutions.
-
Open source PHP online shops.
I work with PrestaShop and Zencart to either make completely customized shops from scratch or mold existing templates, add funtionality, custom modules, or just improving on the usability of the interface.
-
Javascript and jQuery application development
Beautiful and smooth interfaces that improve usability. Websites that the user will love to use. I like jQuery and JS and I try to make the most from it every time.
-
Linux server admin.
Experience in managing dedicated and cloud linux servers, either Centos/RHEL or Debian/Ubuntu: Apache, Bind, Postfix, Qmail, MySQL, webmin,...
-
Always up to date with the latest W3C standars
Working already with the parts of HTML5 and CSS3 supported by major browsers.
-
Accessibility and usability.
I do care about accessibility, putting it always first. It is my opinion that as web developers we have the responsibility to ensure everybody gets the same easy access to the content.

Graphic Design for the Web
I have a degree in Arts and worked as a graphic designer for the first few years of my career. Nowadays I look for subtle designs and I care for my typography.
