💫 Kiunye Araya Christopher :

WooCommerce & Shopify Expert • Rugby Tactics Nerd • Problem Solver

I’m currently building with WordPress, Ruby on Rails, and Elixir (Phoenix), engineering clean, scalable solutions across multiple stacks. Away from the keyboard, I’m working toward my rugby coaching badges, drawing from my playing days as a hooker. These days, I'm especially interested in attack strategy and tactical analysis. Always happy to chat about rugby, Football Manager (PC), or anything to do with WooCommerce, Rails, or Elixir.
