Employment history

Fitness Engross was using an old version of Shopware that had various bugs and problems — all of which I solved — one of the most serious bugs prevented us from updating, and another serious bug prevented us from sending newsletters because of a clogged task system.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my accomplishments in this position, and deeply grateful that Fitness Engros entrusted me with their system, despite my lack of prior experience with Shopware.

When I was hired, I had limited experience with the technologies Shopware is built on. I quickly had to learn Vue.js, Twig, and how to set up Elasticsearch, with minimal assistance from other developers. In fact, I dug so deeply into Shopware's code that I discovered and reported an issue that was causing massive disk space usage in our shop.

I worked on various ad-hoc WordPress development tasks for their clients. During this time, I became proficient in creating and working with custom WordPress plugins and themes—skills I had only limited experience with at the beginning.

Of course, I already had experience with PHP, but at that point, my familiarity with WordPress was still limited to what I had learned at KEA.

Most of my work focused on front-end development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—typically delivered as CMS editor components or injected via custom plugins and themes.

Part of my AP Degree at KEA During my internship at Mackabler, I contributed to a range of both front-end and back-end development tasks. The experience gave me practical insight into working with a live e-commerce platform, where I helped maintain and improve site functionality. The internship concluded with a thorough final report. clogged task system.
