WHY HIRE ME INSTEAD OF ANOTHER DEVELOPER ➤
Most developers who list "LMS" actually build general websites and occasionally install a course plugin. I build nothing except WordPress learning platforms. That's the difference between configuring an LMS a few times and solving real LMS problems every day.
Your LMS might look fine on the surface. But students can't find where they left off. Quiz results vanish after submission. Certificates never generate. Course progress resets randomly. Video lessons buffer on mobile and leak easily. Content drip unlocks everything at once and every plugin update feels like a gamble because 30 plugins are duct-taped together. The platform shows courses, but it's not actually teaching anyone.
That gap between an LMS that displays content and one that delivers real learning outcomes is exactly where I work.
300+ WordPress LMS, 200+ five-star reviews, 5 years building nothing but WordPress learning and membership platforms. If your platform needs to work the way your students expect, not the way your plugins accidentally allow, keep reading.
RECENT PROJECT:
A fitness coaching academy had 24 plugins, quiz scores not saving, progress showing 0% for completed modules, and membership tiers leaking premium content. I rebuilt the architecture, fixed tracking at database level, locked down access via MemberPress, and cut the stack to 10. Course completion turned around within a month. I have cut page load time by up to 40% and the OWNER now manages everything without developer support.
Your students come first, not the tech stack. Before writing code, I walk through your platform as a student. Can they find a course in 3 clicks? Is enrollment obvious? Does the dashboard show real progress? You get someone who designs the entire student learning journey before touching the backend.
Honest recommendations, even when it costs me. If a lightweight plugin handles your needs at half the cost, you'll hear that. If your "rebuild" actually needs 4 targeted fixes, you'll hear that too.
Your platform stays clean as it grows. Custom code where plugins create bloat. Fewer plugins = fewer conflicts, faster loads, and a site that survives every update. What works at 100 students won't collapse at 5000.
Business outcomes built into the architecture. Enrollment flow, pricing structure, mobile experience, completion rates, and student retention. These shape every technical decision from day one.
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR SITUATION?
➤ I need enrollment, payment gateways (Stripe/PayPal), quizzes, assessments, certificates, live classes and student tracking from day one.
➤ I'm building a corporate training portal with structured learning paths, compliance assessments, and reporting.
➤ I want an interactive multi-instructor marketplace with automated revenue splits.
Existing platform problems:
➤ Student progress keeps resetting after completing lessons.
➤ Quizzes break on mobile. Questions load halfway, timers freeze, results disappear.
➤ Content drip is set up but all lessons unlock at once.
➤ Premium courses are accessible to free members, students can download the course videos.
➤ Email notifications stopped. No confirmations, no alerts.
➤ Every plugin update breaks something.
Advanced & complex setups:
➤ Multi-tier memberships with separate drip schedules and renewal logic per tier.
➤ Gamification with points, badges, leaderboards (GamiPress), and point-based premium access.
➤ Advanced CRM-driven memberships using Memberium (ActiveCampaign / Keap).
➤ Proctored assessments with score-based certificates and expiry tracking.
➤ Migrating courses, user data, and student records to WordPress without losing anything.
THE RIGHT PLATFORM FOR YOUR PROJECT:
I don't recommend a specific LMS plugin before understanding your requirements. A small coaching site and a 5,000-student corporate portal need very different architectures.
I work across all major WordPress LMS solutions—specializing deeply in LearnDash, Tutor LMS (TutorPro), and WPLMS. When a project needs advanced features, complex quiz logic, or deep integrations, I often lean toward LearnDash. But that's a conversation based on your goals, not a default guess.
WHAT YOUR PROJECT GETS:
➤ Course architecture with prerequisites & learning paths
➤ Quizzes, assignments, assessments, question banks & certificates
➤ Custom Elementor student dashboards & distraction-free course players
➤ Membership, subscriptions & content drip protection (MemberPress / PMPro)
➤ WooCommerce integration for recurring subscriptions, Stripe, PayPal & others
➤ Gamification, points & leaderboards to boost course completion
➤ BuddyBoss & BuddyPress social learning community integration
➤ Platform migration (Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific to WordPress)
➤ Mobile responsive & speed optimization.
Your project won't be anyone's learning curve. Describe your situation, or message me for honest advice before more duct tape becomes your only strategy.

I build the software layer on WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify. Custom plugins, Shopify and Wix apps, checkout logic, payment gateways, REST API integrations. Not page design. The proof is public and takes two minutes to check.

• 159,000+ active installs on the WordPress plugin suite I worked on for five years, across 1,962 ratings
• 9,478 sales at a 4.88 average on the commercial themes I helped ship
• 518 reviews across the Shopify and Wix apps I have built, every rated listing sitting at 5.0

• Custom plugin development is the work I am fastest at. Behaviour WordPress does not ship, written against hooks and filters so it survives the next core update and the next theme change instead of breaking on them.
• Five years on Premio's plugin team taught me what that costs at scale: code that keeps working on hosts I cannot see, under themes I have never installed, across PHP 7.4 to 8.4 at the same time.
• Community and learning platforms are the other half: BuddyBoss, BuddyPress and bbPress, with LearnDash, Tutor LMS and LearnPress.
• I built and still maintain the club voting system for a Quebec schools league running 35 private groups.

• The Woo work I get hired for is the logic, not the storefront.
• Custom fields that appear on the shipping address but not at checkout. A checkbox that has to default differently by product. Billing data that has to reach a membership profile.
• Subscription flows, payment gateway integrations and the WooCommerce REST API.
• Woo at product scale too: CiyaShop, a WooCommerce-first theme with 3,738 sales at 4.89, plus three more Woo-carrying themes on ThemeForest.
• If your store works but one part of the buying flow does not do what the business needs, that is the job I want.

• Shopify apps built as Laravel applications: OAuth, webhooks, billing, per-store settings, and a script injected into the storefront. Same shape for Wix.
• Live on the marketplaces right now: Coupon X on Shopify and Wix, 500 reviews at 5.0 between them and a Wix Choice badge, built while I was at Premio.
• Smarter PopUp and Smarter Announcement Bar, four listings across both marketplaces, built for AJ WebCom Solutions as a freelance client. 18 reviews and a Verified by Wix badge.
• To be straight about it: my Shopify experience is app development, not storefront setup. Want a theme customised, there are better people here for it. Want an app built, published and kept alive through Shopify's API versions, that is mine.

• I am in Surat, India, on GMT+5:30. That covers the whole UK and European working day, and I start early or stay late for US Eastern and Pacific calls.
• I will tell you if a requirement costs more than it returns, before we start rather than in week three.
• Fixed-price work ships against dated milestones you approve first.
• 60 days of free defect support after go-live, covering anything I built that does not behave as specified.

**WordPress & WooCommerce | PHP | Full-Stack Developer | Custom Development & API Integrations**
I’m Amit Sharma, a Full-Stack Developer with **9+ years of experience** building, maintaining, and improving production web applications, ecommerce platforms, SaaS products, and custom business solutions.
My strongest area is **WordPress, WooCommerce, and PHP development**, including custom plugin/theme development, complex WooCommerce functionality, membership and LMS platforms, payment integrations, API integrations, performance optimization, and troubleshooting existing production websites.
I’m also experienced with modern JavaScript stacks including **React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript**, which allows me to work comfortably on both traditional WordPress/PHP applications and modern full-stack products.
### What I can help you with
• **WordPress & WooCommerce** — custom development, customization, troubleshooting, migrations, performance, security, and ongoing maintenance
• **PHP Development** — Laravel, CodeIgniter, custom PHP applications and backend systems
• **WooCommerce** — subscriptions, memberships, checkout, Stripe/payment gateways, shipping APIs, custom product logic and integrations
• **Custom WordPress Plugins & Themes** — clean, reusable and maintainable solutions instead of unnecessary plugin-heavy implementations
• **Membership & LMS** — MemberPress, LearnDash, BuddyPress, BuddyBoss and custom membership functionality
• **API & Third-Party Integrations** — REST APIs, payment gateways, CRM integrations, shipping platforms and external services
• **Modern Frontend Development** — React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, MUI, Chakra UI and Storybook
• **Backend & Databases** — Node.js, MongoDB, MySQL and scalable API-driven applications
• **Cloud & Deployment** — AWS, production deployments, performance monitoring and troubleshooting
I’m particularly comfortable **taking over existing applications built by previous developers**. I can quickly understand an unfamiliar codebase, identify technical debt or production risks, troubleshoot issues, and make improvements without unnecessarily disrupting what is already working.
My development approach is simple: **clean architecture, reusable components, maintainable code, performance, and reliability**. I pay attention to the details behind the interface as well — database queries, API response times, logs, deployment issues, caching, and application performance — because a good-looking application isn't enough if it isn't reliable under real-world usage.
I also believe in communicating clearly with clients. I provide realistic estimates, explain technical decisions in plain language, raise potential problems early, and take ownership of the work rather than waiting for every individual task to be assigned.
Whether you need someone to **fix and optimize an existing WooCommerce store, develop a custom WordPress solution, integrate a third-party API, build a new feature, or take ownership of a larger full-stack application**, I can step in and contribute from both the frontend and backend.
**Available for one-time projects as well as long-term development and maintenance partnerships.**
If you have an existing project that needs an experienced developer to take ownership and move it forward, feel free to reach out.

At A Glance: BuddyPress
WordPress is one of the biggest names in blogging and website creation, offering a vast range of different options to suit all needs. One of the main ways WordPress allows its users to fully adapt and alter the publishing platform as they see fit is through the use of plugins. One such plug-and-play function is called BuddyPress, and it allows users to transform their WordPress site into a fully functional social network platform. This means that once it is installed, members can interact socially with one another through a multi-blogging platform environment. BuddyPress fosters the creation of a whole community on your network and enables your exclusive website users to connect with others who share the same interests.
BuddyPress works through a series of its own plugins, with each creating a different social feature that runs independent of the others. A BuddyPress specialist can work with this multitude of plugins to assemble the best possible site for your website and its users, as well as to ensure all required features are functional and accurate. These are elements that allow the creation of extended profiles, the addition of friend connections in a manner similar to Facebook, and the capability to private message other users directly. With so many possibilities, a BuddyPress specialist can work with you to define the goals and parameters of your specific BuddyPress network in order to offer a comprehensive but customized social experience.
