Top SchoolNerijus Oftas is a founder and full‑stack web engineer with 11 years of experience building and shipping production web services and developer-facing tools. He founded Cheetaho, an image optimization service and WordPress plugin that supports both lossless and intelligent lossy workflows for JPEG, PNG and GIF, and brings hands‑on expertise with PHP/Laravel, WordPress, and PrestaShop. His technical breadth spans backend systems and performance tooling—XML, MySQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, Memcached, MongoDB—plus front‑end skills in JavaScript, CSS and jQuery. Comfortable across Linux environments and Git workflows, he also integrates search and documentation tooling such as Sphinx and eZ Components into real products. Based in Lithuania, he pairs entrepreneurial pragmatism with a developer’s attention to optimization and efficiency, often focusing on small, high‑impact engineering improvements rather than flashy rewrites.
