<h1>Hello! I'm
Adrian Bradley</h1>
<h2>Full Stack Developer, WordPress Specialist</h2>
<p>I'm a highly versatile, and skilled web developer with nearly 10 years of experience working in Digital Marketing. This experience has helped me gain a deep understanding of the practical needs and requirements of a project, focusing on purpose-driven development rather than development for its own sake.</p>
<p>Over the past nearly decade, I've built an extensive skill set in various technologies, with my core expertise lying in the following: React, Laravel, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, and WordPress.</p>
<p>These skills, combined with my experience in digital marketing have shaped me into a solution-driven developer focused on identifying the best approach for each unique challenge, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.</p>
<p>Outside of work, I'm pretending to be good at video games, or hanging out with my farm of animals. Though to be honest, it's usually both.</p>
<h2>Experiments</h2>
<p>Here is a selection of my recent experiments—short-term, unfinished projects primarily focused on learning and exploration.</p>
<ul></ul><h2>Projects</h2>
<p>Projects are akin to experiments but generally have a larger objective or goal. They are usually production-ready or near completion.</p>
<ul></ul><h2>Technologies</h2>
<p>With extensive experience in digital marketing, which prioritizes quick and efficient turnarounds, I've adapted to working with a wide range of technologies.</p>
<ul></ul><h2>Capabilities</h2>
<p>A key quality of being a strong developer is the ability to break down complex problems into manageable challenges. A great developer can then communicate these challenges clearly, ensuring that non-technical team members fully grasp them.</p>
<ul></ul><h2>Formal Stuff</h2>
<p>While not a complete representation of my experience and learning, here is a solid snapshot.</p>
