Gained my first professional web development experience from developing a PHP / MySQL web app for e-waste management and reporting. The app is still being constantly updated and managed to this day. My most recent achievement in this endeavor was re-architecting the 5 year old pure PHP legacy code into a symfony framework with a domain driven design approach (DDD) that will allow for sustainable growth of the app as the business needs evolve. Set up a docker based development environment that supports developers on all operating systems and is easy to get up and running with a few install commands, reducing onboarding time.For more details see https://www.edparko.com/#e-waste

I was offered a job at an e-waste recycler and reseller where my main responsibilities were repairing upgrading, and describing computers that came in. I worked with PCs, servers, and laptops. I learned to test other kinds of tech/equipment as well such as network switches, office phone systems, and monitors.

I made a few WordPress sites with custom-designed themes, and managed a WordPress site for an expanding law firm. New projects are always in the works.
