The kit
Skills
A working kit of 31 specializations, grouped the way a forward deployed engagement actually runs: customer delivery, integrations, AI, languages, cloud, and performance. Python and LLM agents are marked Building.
Practice
Skills I actually ship with.
Each card opens a dedicated page: where the skill sits in a programme, the services around it, and how I run the work from discovery through support.
The list is grouped the way projects usually break down — platform, commerce, frontend, and the cloud work that holds the rest up.

How I use them
The list is a map, not a catalogue.
01
Choose the stack on purpose
The skill list is not a badge wall. I pick the pieces that fit the content model, the editors, and the hosting you already have.
02
Build where the risk is
Custom plugins, APIs, and checkout paths get the attention. Themes and hosting follow the same rules so the site does not split in two.
03
Stay for the next release
Integrations, performance, and editor workflows need someone after launch. These skills stay in play once the first version is live.
