Your business shouldn't break when you scale. It should automate. I help businesses turn messy operations, product data, and disconnected tools into clean, working systems. WHAT I DO For product data and catalogs, I build custom PIM systems: taxonomy design, attribute management, CSV/API import-export pipelines, and syndication to eCommerce platforms and marketplaces. I built PIM-Plus, a WordPress-based PIM for manufacturers, from the ground up โ€” along with a custom syndication engine. For CRM and process automation, I connect and automate systems using GoHighLevel, Zapier, n8n, and Make โ€” form-to-CRM pipelines, lead follow-up sequences, appointment booking, and reporting dashboards. For WordPress and web development, I design and build custom plugins, WooCommerce integrations, ecommerce migrations, and backend systems in Laravel and MySQL. This is where most of my 8-year track record comes from โ€” plugin development, platform migrations, and ecommerce/CRM integrations for clients across the US, UK, and Europe. I'm not a task-based developer. I work best when a client has a real business problem and needs someone who can understand the workflow, design the right technical structure, and build it properly โ€” not just execute a spec. I've worked as a CTO, engineering manager, and solution architect, so I understand both the technical and business sides of a project. My focus is always on systems that are maintainable, scalable, and actually usable by the people who rely on them day to day. Clients usually come to me when: - Their product data or catalog is hard to manage - Their CRM or automation setup is broken or half-built - Their WordPress site needs a custom plugin or platform migration - They're doing too much manual admin work - They need someone to own a project end-to-end, not just a task WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME โœ” 100% Job Success Score across 25+ completed projects, with a track record of 5-star, client-endorsed work going back to 2018 โœ” Built PIM-Plus and a custom syndication engine from scratch โœ” I build it myself โ€” no outsourcing โœ” Modular architecture โ€” easy to update, never a locked-in black box โœ” Fast communicator โ€” responses within hours Have a product catalog that's outgrown spreadsheets, a CRM/automation setup that needs fixing, or a WordPress plugin you need built right?
