About Valdis Geisters

I am a seasoned web developer with over a decade of hands-on experience creating robust online solutions. Throughout my career, I’ve dedicated several years to eCommerce development, becoming a Certified Magento Developer along the way. However, my expertise extends well beyond Magento: I’ve successfully delivered numerous WordPress and Joomla projects and have played key roles in various eCommerce initiatives, overseeing everything from planning to launch. Alongside my developer responsibilities, I’ve taken on leadership roles guiding teams of two to five people, leveraging the Scrum methodology to ensure effective collaboration, timely deliveries, and high-quality results. Over the years, I’ve built a multitude of custom extensions, tackled both front-end and back-end tasks, and seamlessly integrated new technologies and best practices into my workflow. My skill set spans a broad range of tools and technologies, including Git and SVN for version control, Jira and Basecamp for project management, and PHPStorm for development. I’m proficient in HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, PHP, and possess strong database skills in MySQL and PostgreSQL—particularly useful for managing large datasets. In my recent endeavors, I’ve embraced Docker to containerize applications, built microservices for scalability, and worked extensively with REST APIs and front-end frameworks like Vue.js. Whether I’m designing an eCommerce platform from the ground up or optimizing a legacy system, I bring passion, technical expertise, and a results-driven mindset to every project.
