ABOUT HAROLD
Design, development, and the systems behind them.
I’m Harold Hamernik, a full-stack web developer and designer based in Burbank, California. I connect thoughtful interfaces with dependable code and the infrastructure that keeps them running.

DESIGN TO DEPLOYMENT
A practical approach to the whole website.
My work spans the full website lifecycle: translating designs into responsive interfaces, building custom functionality, connecting business systems, and managing the Linux environments that support them.
I work with PHP, JavaScript, WordPress, and relational databases, alongside tools such as ACF, React, WooCommerce, and Shopify. I’m equally comfortable working through an interface detail or troubleshooting a hosting configuration.
I build with the next person in mind. Reusable components, clear content controls, accessible interfaces, and maintainable code help teams keep a website useful long after launch.

HOW I WORK
Clear thinking. Useful systems. Maintainable work.
I start with what the website needs to accomplish and who needs to use it. That helps shape the interface, content structure, integrations, and technical decisions behind the build.
My focus is practical: clear navigation, responsive layouts, accessible interactions, dependable hosting, and content tools that people can actually use. I look for reusable solutions that simplify future changes.
Teaching has strengthened the way I explain technical decisions. I bring that same clarity to collaboration with designers, marketers, stakeholders, and the people responsible for maintaining a site.
