About Kishan Savaliya, Adobe Certified Magento Developer
Frequently asked questions
When was Kishan Savaliya Adobe-certified?
September 2021. The credential is Adobe Certified Professional, Adobe Commerce Developer, issued by Adobe and verifiable on Credly. I do not list any other year and do not have a separate "expert" or "master" tier credential, that's the certification I hold.
How long have you been working with Magento?
Since 2016. I started on Magento 1, moved to Magento 2 during the 2.2.x line, and have been working full-time on Magento 2 ever since. The store you're reading this on runs Magento 2.4.9 with a Hyvä theme.
Are you a freelancer or an agency?
Independent freelancer. There is no agency, no team of subcontractors, no account managers. The same person who quotes the work also writes the code and runs the deploy. If a project is too large for one developer I'll tell you up front and recommend a partner agency rather than overcommit.
Where are you based and what hours do you work?
Ahmedabad, India (IST, UTC+5:30). I keep evening hours that overlap with US Eastern business time and full-day overlap with the UK / EU. Most clients are based in North America and Europe.
What's your hourly rate?
Flat $25/hr on hourly engagements, with fixed-fee scaffolds at $499 for a one-week audit and $2,499 for a two-week sprint. Every quote is shown as ~Nh @ $25/hr so the breakdown is transparent.
Do you have an Upwork profile I can verify?
Yes, upwork.com/freelancers/~016dd1767321100e21. The profile carries Top-Rated status and the Job Success Score is visible publicly. Upwork is a fine route for clients who prefer Upwork-managed contracts and escrow.
What's the Panth_* namespace I see in your code?
That's my open-source module family. The packages live under the mage2kishan GitHub organisation and use the Panth\* PHP namespace + the Panth_* Magento module convention. Examples: Panth_AdvancedSeo, Panth_StructuredData, Panth_Hreflang, Panth_LlmsTxt. Both client work and public modules use the same patterns.
Do you work on Adobe Commerce Cloud, not just Magento Open Source?
Yes. The Adobe certification is the Adobe Commerce Developer credential, which covers both editions. I've shipped on Adobe Commerce Cloud (the managed offering), Adobe Commerce on-prem, and Magento Open Source self-hosted on VPS / dedicated hardware.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes, standard mutual NDA is fine, I'll sign it before the kickoff. For sensitive engagements I keep client codebases on encrypted drives, use separate SSH keys per client, and rotate credentials at project close. If you need a specific NDA template (BAA, EU-style DPA, etc.), send it across and I'll review.
What's the fastest way to start a conversation?
The hire me page is the single intake. It routes to email, calendar, or WhatsApp depending on what suits you. Same person replies either way, usually within a working day.
