Hi, I'm Jenna Cooke!
Code archaeologist & PHP ninja.
I'm a PHP developer with over 10 years of industry experience, based in Canada... somewhere in northern British Columbia where seeing my friend, Elliot the Moose, is not uncommon. I build scalable web apps, untangle legacy spaghetti code, and sprinkle puns on everything I enjoy.
What I Bring to the Team
A knack for solving problems and thinking things through from all angles
Clear, friendly communication with both technical and non-technical folks
Comfort working remotely and supporting teammates wherever they are
Strong time management and self-motivation to keep projects moving
A passion for mentoring and sharing what I've learned
Flexibility and curiosity to pick up new tools and skills quickly
Sharp attention to detail and a commitment to doing things right
The ability to gather requirements and keep clients in the loop
An eye for improving processes and creating helpful documentation
A collaborative spirit to bring cross-functional teams together
Technical Superpowers
PHP Development
PHP: Pretty Handy Programmer!
From Laravel masterpieces to old-school vanilla PHP, I cook up web apps that scale, stay secure, and run smoother than fresh-brewed coffee.
API Integration
I love hooking things up—whether it's payment gateways, CRMs, or cat fact APIs — so your app can do more than ever imagined.
Database Design & Optimization
Data Whisperer.
I sculpt databases that stay fast, tidy, and ready to handle whatever traffic you throw at them.
Legacy Code Improvement
I dig through ancient PHP ruins, dust them off, and transform them into modern wonders.
Problem-Solving
Puzzle Conqueror.
No bug too sneaky, no feature too twisty — give me a challenge, and I'll build the solution.
Deployment & Server Management
I deploy code and wrangle servers so your site goes live without the fireworks (unless you want them).
Linux/Unix & SSH Operations
Terminal Ninja.
SSH sessions are my playground, and I navigate them with the grace of a cat burglar.
DNS Configuration
I point, click, and conjure DNS records like a pro, ensuring your domains always know where home is.
Technical & Non-Technical Documentation
Translation Wizard.
I turn technical jargon into plain English so everyone, from developers to stakeholders, can follow along.
Remote Work & Collaboration
Async chats, virtual stand-ups, and independent hustle; remote is my natural habitat.
