I build custom, high-performance web solutions using a variety of CMS platforms and modern React frontends. My focus is on delivering scalable solutions, seamless API integrations, and exceptional user experiences for both traditional and headless CMS projects.
Empowering businesses with headless CMS and React
I'm Marios Sofokleous, a developer specializing in headless CMS platforms such as Strapi, traditional CMS solutions like WordPress and October CMS, and modern React/Next.js frontends. I design and engineer plugins, themes, templates, and scalable integrations—empowering businesses to connect their content management systems with robust JavaScript interfaces and third-party services.
My mission is to build performant, accessible, and visually compelling web solutions that deliver real business value. In addition to development, I manage VPS hosting environments, configure CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments, and ensure every project adheres to the highest standards of code quality, security, and maintainability.
By leveraging technologies such as Supabase, Firebase, and a range of CMS platforms, I deliver solutions that are both flexible and future-proof. Based in Paphos, Cyprus, I am actively seeking opportunities to grow and contribute as a CMS expert & React developer.

I have experience with React and Next.js, leveraging their capabilities to build Single-Page Applications (SPAs) and optimize performance through Static Site Generation (SSG). My projects often integrate headless CMS platforms like Strapi and Decap CMS for flexible content management. Additionally, I have worked with Firebase and Supabase for backend integration, enabling data handling, authentication, and cloud storage. These tools have been instrumental in creating dynamic, scalable applications that deliver exceptional user experiences.
Yes! I have worked with Firebase and Supabase for backend integration, REST APIs for data handling, and Docker for containerized deployments.
I adhere to WCAG guidelines and use semantic HTML with ARIA roles to create accessible web applications. Tools like Lighthouse help me validate accessibility standards.
I optimize websites by compressing images, implementing lazy loading, using critical CSS extraction, reducing JavaScript bundle sizes with Webpack/Vite, and leveraging CDNs to reduce load times.
Yes! I implement SEO best practices such as structured data (JSON-LD), meta tags, XML sitemaps, OpenGraph metadata, and responsive designs to improve search engine rankings.
I leverage headless CMS platforms like Strapi or Decap CMS to create flexible content management systems that allow clients or teams to manage their websites efficiently while maintaining high performance.
Yes! I am open to remote opportunities worldwide, hybrid work arrangements in Limassol, or full-time office work in Paphos.
Yes! I've integrated REST APIs into various projects using fetch/axios methods while ensuring secure data handling through validation techniques like Zod.
I've used Coolify (Docker) for containerized deployments and Netlify for hosting static sites with automated builds triggered by GitHub commits.
I primarily used Recoil.js for state management, which provided an efficient and intuitive way to manage global state in React applications. Although the library has been archived and is no longer maintained, I successfully implemented it in several projects, including interactive widgets during my time at IronFX. These projects required dynamic and responsive state handling, and Recoil.js allowed me to build seamless user experiences. While I am exploring other modern state management solutions, my experience with Recoil.js has given me a strong foundation in managing application states.
I regularly watch YouTube, experiment with new tools/frameworks in personal projects, and share insights through my own blog posts.
I prioritize mobile-first development using CSS frameworks like Tailwind CSS or Bootstrap and optimize layouts for all screen sizes.
I use tools like Chrome DevTools and Lighthouse for performance testing and accessibility checks. For functionality, I implement manual testing.
