Experience
I actively collaborate with members of the Joomla Community, contributing to and working alongside experienced professionals in the Joomla ecosystem. Joomla is a globally trusted, award-winning Content Management System (CMS), used by millions of websites worldwide to build powerful websites and scalable online applications.
Since 2020, I have been collaborating with respected Joomla professionals and industry experts, including,
Brian Mitchell President of interGen,
Richard Gosler Creative Director at Phoenix Digital Media Ltd,
Daniel Dubois Founder at web-eau.net,
Dror Lamdan Project and Sales manager at Webcom etc. These collaborations have helped me stay connected with the Joomla community, exchange knowledge, and contribute to delivering high-quality web solutions.
Since 2005, I have been managing and delivering web projects for clients across the USA, UK, Germany, Finland, Belgium, France, Brazil, Israel, Spain, and the Netherlands. My experience covers website development, project management, CMS solutions, integrations, and long-term website maintenance. I have extensive knowledge of multiple platforms, including Joomla, WordPress, OpenCart, Laravel, Magento, and osCommerce.
I have been involved in developing numerous business websites, including eCommerce platforms with secure online payment solutions. I have also developed specialized systems such as a Job Portal and Property Management System for ADMA (UAE), one of the Middle East’s most valuable brands. A key area of my expertise is Joomla migration, helping businesses successfully upgrade, migrate, and optimize their websites with minimal disruption.

We have had Manu contribute to a number of different projects in recent months. His work is thorough and exceptional. The work required in-depth knowledge of PHP, MySQL, and Javascript. He was able to quickly define the issues we were trying to address. In addition, his solutions were provided very quickly and well documented.
Manu is knowledgable with very good people and communication skills. We are very happy to have him working with us to provide a great experience for our clients.Brian Mitchell

Working with Manu was a Great Pleasure. His human attitude, attention to every detail, and reference to requests on the one hand, on the other hand, his high technical level, knowledge, and experience. Made a significant difference in terms of working-level and delivery of products to my clients. I have had several attempts in the past to work with programmers from India that were terrible, but with Manu, it was a pure pleasure! I Just love working with him!

Manu built a new site for us using Joomla 3.9, with a brief to replicate exactly an outdated site - which still relied on Joomla 1.5 - as a foundation for further development. The work was done quickly, with great attention to detail. I would certainly look to work with Manu again on further Joomla projects.
John Harrison

I have worked with Manu for about six months now. He is on top of things and never lets them slide. We work with Manu on projects and find ourselves saying more times than not, "Manu, can figure this out." He always does. He is a part of our team and we all think he is top-notch. If ever in doubt using his services, don't be. He is honest and hard working.

I had the pleasure to work with Manu for twelve years! He is someone you can rely on. His commitment and availability were flawless all the long... Another important quality is that Manu delivers bug free developments. I started working with Manu as a member of a small offshore team. Later he worked on several of my projects as a freelance where he proved his capacities of autonomy. Anyone who would like to know more can contact me.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Mr. Beladevan, Manu (Web Programmer, E-commerce and CMS) for over two years, and in this span I've seen his exceptional abilities to effortlessly handle multiple critical projects efficiently. He has been a great engineering lead for mostly two reasons - i) He has been available to his team seamless, and vocal about his team's efforts and asks to get the production rolling, ii) The unique trait of staying up to date with technology. Manu has made his presence felt in the ecosystem by being ethical and truthful with the business and team he is part of. I'm sure this will take him a long way in his career.
