Hiyield

Full-Stack WordPress Developer (Apprentice)

Worked on features across 25+ client websites in a small Agile team, from new builds to ongoing support.

  • Turned Figma designs into 50+ reusable Gutenberg blocks in PHP, JavaScript and Tailwind CSS, so clients could build and edit pages without a developer.
  • Built flexible content models with Advanced Custom Fields, the WP REST API and the template hierarchy, moving away from one-off templates towards configurable components.
  • Worked through Git branches, pull requests and peer code review, following WordPress Coding Standards.
  • Contributed to GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, and used AI-assisted tooling for implementation, debugging and review.
