About me
I am Zoya Mustafa, a passionate and results-driven Web Developer with over 2 years of professional experience in creating dynamic, responsive, and user-friendly websites. My expertise lies in both front-end and back-end development, where I utilize a combination of modern web technologies, frameworks, and best practices to deliver robust, high-quality solutions. I am committed to writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code that not only meets but exceeds client expectations, ensuring that every project delivers a seamless user experience across various devices and platforms.
Key Skills:
Front-End Development:
I am highly skilled in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, which I use to craft visually appealing and interactive user interfaces. My proficiency in responsive design ensures that every website I build adapts smoothly to different screen sizes, whether it's on desktop, tablet, or mobile. Additionally, I leverage frameworks such as Bootstrap and libraries like jQuery to speed up development and add enhanced functionality. My understanding of UX/UI design principles allows me to create websites that are not only functional but also intuitive, making it easy for users to navigate and interact with the content.
Back-End Development:
On the back-end, I am proficient in PHP, one of the most widely-used server-side scripting languages for web development. I specialize in developing server-side logic and building efficient, secure web applications. Using MySQL, I create and manage databases that handle large volumes of data while ensuring data integrity and security. I have experience implementing complex business logic, managing user authentication, and handling sensitive data with best security practices, including data encryption and secure session management. My goal in back-end development is to ensure that websites not only perform well but are also scalable and future-proof.
Web Technologies:
I am experienced in using AJAX to create dynamic, real-time interactions without the need for full page reloads. This allows for smoother user experiences, particularly when it comes to form submissions, data filtering, and content updates. My understanding of how to balance server-side processing with front-end efficiency has helped me create web applications that are both responsive and fast.
Content Management Systems (CMS) & Tools:
I am familiar with WordPress, the world’s most popular CMS, which I have used to build and maintain websites that are easy for clients to update and manage themselves. I understand how to customize themes, create custom post types, and extend the functionality of WordPress sites to meet specific client needs. Additionally, I am experienced in version control systems like Git, which I use for efficient code management, collaboration, and deployment.
Problem Solving:
As a developer, I pride myself on my strong problem-solving skills. Debugging and troubleshooting are integral to my workflow, allowing me to quickly identify and fix issues that may arise during development. Whether it’s a complex server-side error or a front-end rendering problem, I enjoy the challenge of finding solutions and optimizing the performance and functionality of the websites I work on.
Experience Highlights:
Website Development & Maintenance: Over the past two years, I have developed and maintained multiple websites for clients across different industries. I ensured that these websites provided seamless user experiences on all devices and browsers, from initial design to launch and ongoing support.
Dynamic Content Rendering & User Management: I have implemented features like dynamic content rendering, user authentication, and session management in PHP-based web applications, ensuring both security and efficiency in how user data is handled.
Third-Party Integrations: I have successfully integrated a variety of third-party APIs and services, including payment gateways, file upload systems, and other external services to enhance website functionality. These integrations have added value to client projects by automating processes and expanding the capabilities of their websites.
SEO & Performance Optimization: I understand the importance of speed, SEO, and accessibility for modern websites. I optimize websites for fast load times, ensure they follow SEO best practices, and make sure that they are accessible to a wide range of users, including those with disabilities.
Collaboration & Continuous Learning: Whether working independently or as part of a team, I am a strong collaborator. I value open communication with clients, designers, and other developers to ensure that every project is aligned with the overall vision. I am also committed to continuous learning and regularly explore new technologies, frameworks, and industry trends to stay updated and ensure my skills remain relevant.
