A little bit about me…

Damon worked at Kanopi Studios for an accumulated five years, from 2018 to 2024, providing senior-level WordPress development and Technical Lead services for our agency. During his time at Kanopi, Damon consistently demonstrated high performance while displaying a keen understanding of varied aspects of WordPress on both the front and back end.

Damon was a reliable and dedicated team member who served as a source of knowledge and was always available to support and guide his fellow team members. I am confident that Damon will excel in any future endeavors and would be happy to serve as a professional reference for him.

I wholeheartedly recommend Damon and have always trusted him to complete any project he is given. As an individual who has enjoyed knowing and working with Damon Sharp since 2018, I am confident in recommending him. Throughout our time together at Kanopi Studios, where we collaborated closely as fellow developers, I witnessed Damon’s exceptional technical skills and dedication to his craft. Later, as his manager, I had the opportunity to guide him through agency life, where he consistently demonstrated his ability to navigate challenges and deliver results.

While working with Damon, I have observed his exceptional technical abilities and commitment to delivering results. He has consistently demonstrated proficiency in developing and implementing custom plugins to meet unique client requirements, such as user logins, search functionalities, and gated content. His expertise extends to launch preparations, where he has successfully developed and maintained plugins to ensure seamless transitions. Additionally, Damon distinguishes himself as an exceptional mentor, providing invaluable guidance and support to his colleagues.

∼ Shane Robinson – Engineering Manager

I very much enjoyed working with Damon. He was not only a good developer, but he also was easy to get along with.

As his direct manager, I helped Damon to grow at the project and broader development level. He has strong skills as a backend developer and knows WordPress as much as anyone. He has a sound understanding of good coding methodologies and is one of the most patient people I’ve met. He’s an excellent coach and mentor and crafts detailed, well-thought out PRs.

∼ Oliver Harrington – Web Manager

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Damon over the past year and a half at Kanopi Studios. Damon is an excellent developer on both the front and back end. He is also easy to work with, friendly, and personable. During code review I knew I could count on him to provide thoughtful feedback on my code while being receptive to feedback on his code. I hope to work with Damon again someday. Wherever he ends up next will be fortunate to have him on their team!
