Hi, I’m Steve Radabaugh a Full Stack WordPress Developer
My primary focus is building custom themes and blocks for Gutenberg. I also have done some mobile apps using different techniques (native Swift, Unity, ionic), and I have done custom character sheets for Roll20 using PugJS, SCSS, and javascript (You can see the code for those on my github).
I’ve done freelance work for a variety of clients, and I spent a year as the sole developer for vertoeducation.org where I worked to clean up the codebase and build new pages.
The talent I have that I am very proud of is my ability to explain technical concepts to people who don’t have a technical background. I strive to never talk over someone’s head or make them feel bad for not having technical knowledge.

Testimonials
Steve Radabaugh has been phenomenal to work with. I’ll be going with him for all my future web needs. You should too!
My web-based business was ten years old when I decided to contract Steve to build me a new website. The new site is beautiful. It loads quickly. It’s easy for me to update. It has community features, a filterable back catalog, and it’s intuitive for my customers to navigate.
Interacting with Steve has been a genuine pleasure. He’s responsive, friendly, and has a gift for explaining technical matters in a straightforward, easy-to-digest way. Most of all, Steve understood what I needed, not just what I wanted, and his work was consequently better than the work I asked him to do.
Steve is the real deal. He’s a skilled web developer and a people person. I recommend him in the strongest possible terms.
– Tristan Zimmerman, Molten Sulfur Press
