What does this client’s business do?

The client is a digital agency specializing in e-commerce solutions. Being in the business for almost a decade, they have successfully built over 500 Magento Enterprise, Community, and Shopify sites globally for SMEs and large businesses alike. Their e-commerce solutions provide flexible shopping cart systems, while their after-sales support helps existing clients resolve issues quickly.

Who was hired and what was their role?

The client needed a highly skilled developer with strong object-oriented programming knowledge. They were specifically looking to hire remote web developers with expertise in Magento, JavaScript, LESS, and CSS, as well as experience with GIT and Jira.

Somewhere helped them hire a remote full stack developer, Ryan Bansi, who specializes in PHP—the primary coding language of Magento. He now works with the company’s project team in sprints, contributing to various development projects.

As a remote backend developer, Ryan’s daily tasks include:

  • Supporting existing code
  • Developing new modules and functionality

  • Installing security patches

Before joining the agency, Ryan gained experience as a web developer specializing in e-commerce platforms, making him the perfect match for the client’s needs. He has extensive experience working with Magento and PHP, aligning perfectly with their technical requirements.

Ryan is also highly motivated by his family, as he is the breadwinner. He aspires to grow into a managerial role, and given his potential, we are excited to see him achieve his career goals.
