About Samama Tahir
I'm a full-stack web developer and digital growth specialist based in Porto, Portugal. I build websites and digital systems, then help the businesses behind them get found online and turn that traffic into customers.
Why I work across both sides
Most developers stop once a website is live. Most marketers never touch the code. I've spent 8+ years doing both, and in practice they're rarely separate problems: a slow, poorly structured site undermines the SEO work, and good SEO with no clear path to conversion just brings visitors who leave. Building the site and growing its visibility properly needs the same person thinking about both at once.
8+ years across the full stack
I've built and maintained WordPress websites, Shopify stores, React applications, and fully custom web apps, along with the e-commerce, REST API, and third-party integration work that goes with them. Alongside that, I work on local SEO, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and the analytics setup that shows what's actually working.
How I like to work
You deal directly with me, not an account manager passing your project along to someone else. I explain things in plain language, without jargon, and I'll tell you honestly if something isn't worth doing rather than selling it to you anyway. The measure of the work isn't how it looks. It's whether it actually helps the business get more enquiries and sales.
Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, and clients further afield
I'm based in Porto and know the local business landscape here and across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia well. I also work remotely with clients across Portugal and internationally, using the same process either way.
