Hey, I'm Ray Turk
I'm a Greater Cleveland-area WordPress and Full Stack Developer currently working at Neon Goldfish Marketing Solutions. I started my tech career in customer service — six years as a Service Coordinator at Classic BMW — before making a full leap into web development in 2021.
That background isn't a detour; it's a superpower. I understand clients, not just code. Since 2021 I've worked at three agencies — Company 119, Full Spectrum Marketing, and now Neon Goldfish — growing from WordPress theme work into full-stack React and Next.js development.
I'm a perpetual learner with a degree in Web Design from Lakeland Community College and a genuine curiosity that keeps me chasing the next thing: headless CMS, modern JavaScript tooling, and websites that are fast, accessible, and built to last.
Skills & Expertise
From Help Desk to BMW Service Desk to Web Dev — each role added something to the toolkit.

What I Believe In
Reliability
Your site is your business. I treat it with the same urgency and care as if it were my own.
Transparency
No jargon, no hidden fees, no surprises. Clear communication and honest pricing, always.
Prevention First
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Proactive maintenance beats reactive firefighting every time.
Continuous Learning
The web never stops evolving, and neither do I. Always staying current with the latest tools and best practices.
Let's Work Together
