Artem Semkin

Senior WordPress Engineer

I develop premium motion-focused themes and plugins for WordPress focusing primarily on Elementor ecosystem. I can either design (in Figma) and build using modern WordPress stack and tools. I'm also fine with supporting legacy/outdated WordPress installations from jQuery era. Currently I have 10 plugins published on WP.org https://profiles.wordpress.org/artemsemkin/ that I maintain.
