I Am A Freelance Full-Stack Web Developer

Brian Shim, Brian Shim Web Development, LLC

I see web development as a multidisciplinary endeavor that encompasses computer programming, visual design, business, marketing, management, search engine optimization, accessibility, maintainability, usability, user experience, security, IT infrastructure, and compliance with government regulations. I strive for expertise in all of these areas.

I use WordPress because it allows clients to update their own sites, it has a ton of theme and plugin support, and it’s really flexible. I can build upon this platform with custom programming as needed.

I am based in Southern California. I have a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Caltech and a Master’s in Engineering Management from Stanford University. I have been creating websites since 2008.

Brian Shim Web Development, LLC is a California S-Corporation (so you don’t need to send me 1099 forms or worry about AB-5 issues).
