"Luke has demonstrated strong technical skills through his ability to build and maintain our organization’s website using WordPress. He proactively identified areas that could be improved, such as optimizing the site for speed and mobile responsiveness, and implemented these changes independently. Luke also created a number of custom pages and plugins to improve our site’s functionality and enhance user experience. His ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly was invaluable.
