Hire the Best Craft CMS Developers
in the United States

I’m a senior full-stack developer and Certified Laravel Developer with 10+ years of experience building and evolving production applications for both fast-moving startups and large enterprise organizations. I’ve worked across fintech, insurance, and healthcare, where products often combine complex business logic, integrations, large data flows, background processing, performance requirements, and systems that need to stay reliable in production. That range matters. In startups, I’m used to moving quickly, owning broad areas of the product, and making practical decisions with limited resources. In enterprise environments, I’ve worked with larger teams, established systems, stricter processes, and applications where reliability and long-term maintainability carry much more weight. I’m primarily looking for long-term work where I can become part of the team, own significant parts of the application, and contribute to architecture, technical decisions, and ongoing product development. My strongest backend stack is Laravel and PHP. I’ve built APIs, SaaS platforms, integrations, internal systems, complex business workflows, and high-volume background processing. I’m equally comfortable building something new or stepping into a mature codebase and understanding how it works before changing it. Some examples of the scale I’ve worked with: Laravel processing systems handling around 450,000 jobs per hour API and database optimization reducing response times from around 30 seconds to under 1 second Production systems across fintech, insurance, healthcare, and ecommerce with complex integrations and business logic Craft CMS is another deep specialty. I’ve worked with Craft on custom applications, ecommerce, multi-site platforms, migrations, upgrades, integrations, and long-running projects that go far beyond a standard marketing site. That includes custom plugins and modules, Craft Commerce, Twig, third-party APIs, performance optimization, and ongoing modernization. Because my background goes beyond CMS development, I’m particularly strong when a Craft project includes substantial custom PHP, complex integrations, or application-level functionality. On the frontend I work with Vue, React, JavaScript, and TypeScript, and I regularly work across MySQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, CI/CD, and monitoring when the project calls for it. I’ve also worked as a Team Lead and Platform Architect, while remaining hands-on with development. I like owning work from the initial technical decision through implementation, testing, deployment, and production. I don’t treat every imperfect piece of code as something that needs to be rewritten. I try to understand the product, identify what actually matters, and make technical decisions that fit the stage of the company. A startup and an enterprise often need very different solutions to the same problem. On Upwork: $500K+ earned, 10,000+ hours, 100+ projects, 100% Job Success, Top Rated Plus. I’m most interested in ongoing Laravel, Craft CMS, and full-stack development where I can take real ownership and stay involved with the product long term. The startup/enterprise paragraph is especially useful because it says something more meaningful than “I’ve worked with companies of all sizes.” It explains that you understand the different engineering tradeoffs in each environment.

I build custom, high-performing websites on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, and Squarespace. 1,080+ completed projects, 9,700+ hours worked, 98% Job Success Score, Top Rated Plus on Upwork. Every project starts with the problem: low conversions, slow load times, outdated design, or a site that isn't generating business results. I wireframe in Figma, mock up in Photoshop, then build clean, responsive, Core Web Vitals-optimised sites that perform in production, not just in preview. What I build: Custom WordPress websites and WooCommerce stores Shopify store development and theme customisation Webflow website design and development Squarespace website design Landing pages built to convert Website redesigns and rebuilds Custom theme/app development (PHP, ACF, platform APIs) Speed optimisation and Core Web Vitals fixes On-page SEO setup (schema, sitemaps, meta) Third-party integrations (CRM, Zapier, APIs) I don't default to one platform. WordPress for full control and custom functionality. Shopify for scalable ecommerce. Webflow for design-led builds. Squarespace for fast, manageable sites. The platform fits the brief, not the other way around.

I design, repair and maintain websites for healthcare practices, service businesses and marketing teams, with on-page and technical SEO to improve search visibility.

My background includes healthcare website work for Springhill Medical Center and TeleVox, custom websites built with Craft CMS, and WordPress projects for independent clients.

I can help with: • WordPress website builds, redesigns and ongoing maintenance • Responsive layouts and custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript • Contact forms, conditional fields and form troubleshooting • On-page and technical SEO, including page titles, site structure and search visibility • Website speed improvements and front-end fixes • Accessibility improvements and cross-browser testing • Updates to existing PHP, Twig and ASP/ASP.NET websites Recent Upwork work includes HTML forms, WordPress landing pages, WooCommerce support, website speed improvements and front-end development for a marketing agency. My portfolio includes a healthcare practice website with doctor profiles, service information and a patient contact form. I start by reviewing the existing site and clarifying what needs to change. From there, I explain the approach, agree on scope and test the work before handoff. I’m comfortable with a small repair, a full redesign or ongoing support. I also offer practical AI guidance for small businesses. Send me your website URL and a brief description of what you need help with.
