Hi, I’m Amir Candido—a self-taught web developer based in Edmonton, Canada. I’m passionate about creating well-architected, scalable, and user-friendly web applications. I’ve spent the past eight-plus years honing my craft, primarily in PHP, Javascript, WordPress, and WooCommerce development.
What I Do
- Web Development: I specialize in developing and optimizing custom WooCommerce solutions, and integrating APIs for seamless functionality.
- Front-End & Back-End Expertise: With a strong command of PHP, JavaScript (including ReactJs and NodeJs), and MySQL, I design full-stack solutions that cater to modern web standards.
- API Integrations: I’ve worked extensively with RESTful APIs—including those for Wordpress, WooCommerce, as well as coding APIs from scratch.
- Cloud & Tools: As an AWS Certified Solutions Developer and Associate, I leverage cloud services alongside tools like Docker, Git, and Chrome Web Developer Tools to streamline development workflows.

I’ve had roles as a remote freelance developer and collaborated with companies across the globe—from Germany to South Africa and Canada.
