Software engineer. Proud Dundonian.
I’m a software engineer with 25 years under my belt, mostly building applications for the web. I studied Applied Computing at the University of Dundee, then went straight into the industry and never really looked back.
These days I specialise in WordPress, building websites, custom plugins, and generally making the platform do things it wasn’t quite designed to do out of the box. Over the years, I’ve worked across the whole stack, from backend logic to the bits users actually see and click.
Some examples of my work include Emma Jean Kemp, Ian Lyall, Weight Tracker and Snippet Shortcodes.
(Oh, and a Dundonian is someone from Dundee, Scotland)

I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into this, but working with Ali was brilliant from start to finish. He took the time to actually understand what I wanted, explained everything clearly, and turned my vague ideas into exactly the website I’d pictured in my head, only better.

Yeken builds great plugins and the Weight Tracker is no exception. The support is great, new updates and features are consistently being added. You won’t be disappointed.

If Carlsberg did WordPress plugins… then they would use Yeken!!! Well done Yeken – nice guys always come out on top and I’m just really pleased that we found you!

Rick Wilson
This plugin is really well developed and have a ton of really cool features but most of all, the service that you have is pretty awesome and ALI is so responsive, it’s reassuring to know that he’s behind your back. Definitely a must have…
