Karen Gil - Full-stack digital architect

No fluff. Just functional, high-converting web products.

Marketers pitch things devs can’t build; devs build things users can’t navigate. I sit in the middle so your product actually works, loads fast, and makes money.

What I Know & The Payoff

  • Custom Code (HTML, CSS, JS, TS, PHP): WordPress is fine for blogs, but custom code scales. Payoff: Clean sites with smooth navigation that don't crash under pressure or rely on 40 plugins.
  • UI/UX & Design (Figma, Adobe Suite): I design with technical reality in mind. Payoff: Faster prototyping and zero dev time wasted on layouts that can’t be coded.
  • Performance, Analytics & SEO: Proper microdata, fast loading, Google Analytics, and Hotjar. Payoff: Better rankings and real data on why users stay or leave.
  • Infrastructure & Security: Kubernetes, DigitalOcean, Grafana, and basic security practices. Payoff: Secure forms and sites that handle traffic spikes without falling over.

How I Work

Development is my core. Design, media, or strategy are dedicated add-ons. Clear scope, zero bloat, and mutual respect for boundaries.
