Summary
Hello,
My name is Davor Novoselac ( Dave in English ). I'm 31 years old, and I live in Osijek, Croatia.
I'm a self-employed WordPress Full-stack Developer and Front-end Developer. I've been working with web technologies
for seven years, and 80% of my projects are developing custom themes and custom solutions for my clients.
Since 2019 I have been working in my own business and providing my services to foreign and domestic clients.
I tend to have a unique business and friendly relationship with all my clients. I like it when my clients are happy with my
work. It drives me to learn new stuff and technology and use it in future projects. My clients are the ones who helped me
grow through all these years.
I've been working for seven years now with the same technology. WordPress and WooCommerce are my main stack,
along with PHP, CSS, JS and MySQL. Since I prefer focusing on one stack and mastering it, that doesn't mean I don't try
new technologies, but I think it is better to be very good at something than okay with everything. That way. I can provide
the best of me for my clients.
I have also worked with Laravel, Symphony, React.js, Vue.js, Directus, Strapi, Sage and Next.js, trying to extend my skills
in the web tech stack.
Experience
WordPress Full-stack Developer / Front-end Developer
Elitus • Osijek, Osijek-Baranja County
04/2019 - Present
My responsibilities are everything from other job positions, doing all by myself. I have a lot of stuff to cover, from slicing
to code, functionalities, custom theme development, setting up WordPress, database, servers, SEO, API-s etc.
This was the period when I learned so much by doing everything solo, having Stack overflow and Google as my colleagues
and data pool. I've spent countless hours, weekends and holidays dealing with a bug, a new feature, extra work or extra
work or a close deadline.
During these three years of freelancing, I have developed over 50 websites, webshops, custom solutions, WordPress
plugins, etc. That gave me a lot of knowledge, experience and versatility.
I'm still searching for more clients and new challenges because I know I will learn from them, whether they are good or
bad.
Plava Tvornica ( Factory ) • Osijek, Osijek-Baranja County
12/2016 - 11/2018
My responsibilities were:
Slicing design into code
Creating custom theme and functionality
Adding content and custom metadata into CMS WordPress
Maintenance of CMS and custom code
Adding SEO and structured data
Optimizing code for the best performance
Implementation of custom API-s
In Plava Tvornica ( Factory now ), I was doing it all by myself. I rarely needed back-end help as I wanted to learn more in
that part and do it by myself. The company respected that, and they only got involved when I needed help.
We worked on some exciting projects, from complex webshops in WooCommerce to news sites and custom projects with
Laravel and Vue.js
It was the first time I felt like a developer.
