Paulo Sossa

Hello.

I got a strong graphic design base, since I worked with a couple of
advertising agencies. I eat, drink and sleep UIXs. MySQL is mid-level
but I got plenty of tools to get the job done. API-level.
I master Wordpress / Woocommerce / Webflow in and out, at the server level.

Have experience designing web directories, e-commerce sites of all
types before plus I make my own graphics, picture edits, and buttons.
Responsive is my last name.

Some of my sites as a reference:

 tiendasfusion .com/shop/

 legacy.waaark .com

 tarjet .net


3+ year of experience in producing native web apps based on MEAN
(Mongo /  Express /  Angular / NodeJS)
In combination with several key components like Flow, Redux, GL
(WebGL/OpenGL) and bootstrap, ReactStrap has my full attention right
now.

Using ReactNative as DOM, as well as embedding Wordpress with MVC to
create applications that are easy to update by non-coders (front
interface) but are robust on the back end as it does not rely on WP
for other than data input.
Always use SendGrid for email notifications.

3+ year of experience building Dashboards.  Mostly Python based or
using Dashing, EON and sometimes Freeboard, depending if they are
hosted or based on the client’s need and main usage.


Best regards,

Summary: I got Level 2 administrator experience developing web portals, online marketing campaigns as
well as dealing with Linux / Microsoft servers. I got wide experience dealing with CRM systems, both online
as well as offline.
On the web, I like knowing I can cover it all, from the domain registration, server setup, frameworks,
advertising, monetizing, logo, all the way down to the favicon. I am problem solver. My career focus resides
in the development of tools that help people communicate in a easier timely fashion using the extensive
amount of tools at our disposal. I think there's a huge load of work in companies of all sizes to take
advantage of social tools applied in business. I have been a tech over 10 years.
As a project manager, I have been in charge of teams up to 12 people, in regards of SEO and web
development, for a major world brand in the sportsbetting industry. I have set up companies on my own, in
the USA, UK and in Spain, as well as in Costa Rica and Panama. Both registration as well as the technological

me being a beta tester, I got access to several tools not yet available for the market. I would say my PHP
knowledge it's still average, as the range of code-writting applications it's simply mind-boggling. At the
moment I am getting trained on GlassFish, the Sun Java application server, and in Icefaces, the 3rd party
suite of java-based solutions. Also, I have a preference revolving Mashups, there's something about
combining data feeds and technologies in a clever way, that really help users and companies bottom lines.

* Would like to include about 4 months of using Python, mostly the scrappy open source programs
Scrapy and Kimono, to pull content dynamically from other websites.

*My favorite framework right now is Express.js but I am using a Wordpress-enabled shell of Angular.
Works like a charm.
As per request:
The seminar I normally give once a month
consists of a lighting session of 7 hours, as crash course
where we cover Wordpress from end to finish,
everything from domain registration all the way to the favicon
Learning how to use the top 100 Wordpress plugins required
to make a web portal (user membership, sliders, sidebars, newsletter, chat, languages,
dynamic content, file uploading, multimedia display, go to top, favicon, tooltips)
A curated list of plugins taken out of the main 1000 useful ones out of the full repository.
I have solid background on the VOIP area as I set up my own startup back in 2012
Opencall.me (not in service)
but with 6 months in operation managed to gain a user base of 250.000 members in the database
(which I still hold)
and, if the funding would have stayed as originally promised, could have been a well-off "Skype-killer"
as it had the same funcionality but it was web-based (no download required), and it gave away
10 minutes of free internacional calls to both cellphones or landlines per day / per user
all under an open source, ad based revenue model. I had between 6 and 7 people under me while it was
operational.
