About

who I am

WordPress Developer

I proudly dub myself the Technology Guru, and here’s why: my fascination with technology ignited during my formative years, and it’s been burning brightly ever since. Allow me to introduce myself; I’m T’Cheznavia Cherry, a WordPress Developer.

My tech journey began by assisting friends and family with their technical woes – from stubborn computers to malfunctioning printers, I’ve seen it all. Whether it’s troubleshooting, software guidance, or mastering the internet’s intricacies, I thrive on the challenge. Even if it’s my first encounter with a problem, my determination to conquer it never wavers. Each hurdle I’ve overcome has deepened my passion for technology.

One notable achievement in my portfolio is my custom WordPress theme, born from the conversion of an HTML and Bootstrap template. It’s a testament to my ability to transform ideas into reality. Another feather in my cap is “Sweets by KayRo,” an e-commerce website powered by WordPress.

As a tech enthusiast at heart, I’m a natural teacher. I impart my knowledge and patience into every tech lesson, whether it’s demystifying technology, coding, or anything in between. Creativity is my constant companion in everything I do. Flexibility with various tech devices is key, and I excel in adapting to the ever-evolving tech landscape. That’s why I proudly call myself a Technology Guru.
