Most Craft CMS and Laravel projects I inherit have the same problems. The codebase has grown faster than it was designed for. Performance is suffering. The previous developer is gone, and nobody wants to touch it. I've been solving exactly this for 10 years — for agencies, SaaS companies, and ecommerce brands. 100+ projects delivered on Upwork. 100% Job Success Score. Certified Senior Laravel Developer. Craft CMS is my deepest specialty. Custom plugin development, Craft Commerce, Craft 2/3/4 to 5 migrations, performance optimization, and long-term maintenance. If your Craft site is struggling, I've seen the problem before, and I know exactly how to fix it. Laravel and PHP for clean API development, scalable backend architecture, custom web applications, and complex system integrations. I write code that the next developer won't curse you for. React and Vue.js are used when the front-end needs to match the quality of the back-end. I bridge the gap so nothing gets lost between design and implementation. AWS, DigitalOcean, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. I deploy and maintain what I build, so for most projects you won't need a separate DevOps person. I work best as a long-term part-time partner embedded in your team — someone who already knows your stack, jumps in when needed, and doesn't need hand-holding. Most of my clients work with me for years because I scope honestly, communicate without being chased, and treat your product like it matters. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, the work history below tells the story better than I can.

Howdy Everyone; my name is Sal! I am a Full Stack Developer specializing in CMS architecture, API integrations, and search-driven web platforms. I build structured content systems; not just websites. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve designed and implemented scalable platforms across WordPress, Craft CMS, custom commerce systems, and SaaS environments. My work often sits at the intersection of backend data modeling, search infrastructure, and user-facing application logic. If you need more than a theme installation, you’re in the right place. Core Focus Areas: • Custom WordPress & Craft CMS architecture • API integrations & external data ingestion • Structured data modeling & CPT design • Search systems (faceted filtering, ranking logic, schema definition) • Complex ecommerce workflows (account states, permissions, checkout logic) • Platform migrations & system continuity • Custom plugin / module development • Automation & workflow optimization Recent Engineering Highlights: Architected a queued ingestion pipeline integrating legislative API data into Craft CMS with Meilisearch indexing and SSR-rendered search delivery. Built bespoke WordPress systems for nonprofits and policy organizations, including structured metadata, community integrations (Circle.so), and content modeling. Worked across custom C# commerce platforms, IBM/HCL Commerce, and BigCommerce ecosystems. Implemented dynamic routing, rewrite logic, and AJAX-driven rendering for scalable content delivery. Why clients continue to work with me: • 100% Job Success Score • Long-term partnerships (multi-year contracts) • Clear communication between marketing and development teams • Production-ready solutions; not fragile builds If you’re looking for a technical partner who can architect and implement structured digital systems, let’s talk.

Hey, I'm a Full Stack Developer who loves turning ideas into websites that actually work and look great. Over the years, I’ve worked with 50+ international clients and built 80+ websites across WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Framer, and other CMS platforms. Whether it’s an eCommerce store, business website, or custom web solution, I’m all about clean design, smooth functionality, and results that make clients say wow. I believe websites should do more than just exist, they should help grow your business. Fun fact: I probably spend more time fixing website issues than deciding what to watch on Netflix, and trust me, that says a lot.
