Who am I?

 
 

Hi! I'm Mark Jayson, a professional Filipino Website Designer and Drupal Developer based in Metro Manila, Philippines. Building websites with Drupal CMS allows me to create them faster and more securely compared to other CMS platforms. I possess extensive and advanced experience in site building, theming, and module development (both front-end and back-end). I have mastered various techniques for utilizing Views, including its complex contextual filters, exposed filters, and relationships.

When necessary, I can create or extend modules, strictly adhering to Drupal coding standards and best practices. I can efficiently code intricate forms using the Form API, leveraging the power of AJAX. I prefer using Drush and Git for website development. I also have experience setting up VPS or dedicated servers using CentOS/Ubuntu with WHM/cPanel or Webmin/Virtualmin, as well as optimizing servers for Drupal websites.

I've developed diverse websites, including online dating platforms, fast food ordering systems, e-learning platforms, ticket reservation systems, real estate websites, and numerous e-commerce sites.

I've had the opportunity to work with clients from various countries, including Belgium, the United States, and Australia.

The workaround SQL query are:

DELETE FROM `YOUR_DATABASE_NAME`.`queue` WHERE `queue`.`name` = 'update_fetch_tasks';

or

TRUNCATE queue;
