8 years in, the work I get called into tends to be the same: a product that outgrew its architecture, a payment system with edge cases nobody anticipated, or a codebase that became untouchable. Sometimes it runs the other direction, a validated idea that needs to be built properly from the start.
My core stack is Laravel and Next.js, deployed on Kubernetes with automated CI/CD. I've spent most of my time in multi-tenant SaaS: subscription management, tenant provisioning, isolated databases, payment infrastructure, and the scaling problems that only show up under real usage.
Projects I can speak to directly:
GradeUp (my own SaaS): tutors sign up and get a fully provisioned environment in under 10 minutes: branded subdomain, isolated database, custom configuration. no manual steps. I built the complete stack: stateless Laravel API, Next.js tenant site and admin panel, GitHub Actions automation, K3s cluster, Grafana monitoring.
Hunter (healthcare platform, Turkey): two years extending a production K3s-hosted platform. Built a video content pipeline with FFmpeg transcoding, multiple format outputs, and protection blocking direct MP4 access. Added a standalone smoking cessation product with AI model integration. Built a real-time fasting community feature (progress photos, status updates, WebSockets + Laravel Echo). Also tuned the cluster to absorb campaign-driven traffic spikes without degradation.
Lazo (marketplace, France): joined a product mid-development. Started with a full codebase audit: removed dead packages, resolved dependency conflicts, cut build times. Restored broken Customerio and PubNub integrations. Rebuilt the payment layer to handle B2B service-provider payouts, subscription tiers, and localized international pricing. More than 1.5 year as the primary backend developer.
What I take on:
- Multi-tenant SaaS platforms: Laravel API + Next.js + K8s deploy
- Stripe payment systems: Connect, subscriptions, marketplace payouts, KYC flows
- Real-time features: WebSockets, Laravel Echo, live dashboards
- Video pipelines: transcoding, format handling, content protection
- CI/CD infrastructure: GitHub Actions, Docker, K3s
- Codebase audits and stabilization
- API-first backends with TDD and full documentation
Stack:
- Backend: Laravel · PHP · Golang . Node.js · Redis · MySQL · PostgreSQL
- Frontend: Next.js · React · Nuxt . Vue . TypeScript · Tailwind CSS
- DevOps: Docker · Kubernetes/K3s · GitHub Actions · Hetzner · AWS
- Testing: Cypress · Vitest · Jest · Integration Testing
- APIs: Stripe · OpenAI · WebSockets · FFmpeg

Your website should do more than simply look good. It should build trust, explain your value clearly, and turn visitors into qualified leads or paying customers.
If your current WordPress site feels outdated, confusing, slow, or no longer reflects the quality of your business, I can transform it into a modern, high-performing Elementor website built around your brand, your audience, and your goals.
With over 8 years of WordPress experience, 2,800+ hours on Upwork, and 1,000+ completed projects for clients across the US, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, I help businesses create websites that are professional, easy to manage, and built to support growth.
My main focus is website design, redesign, and full WordPress development using Elementor. I also provide technical support, performance improvements, and ongoing maintenance when needed.
🛠 Services I Offer
- Elementor website design and redesign
- Full WordPress website builds from Figma, reference websites, wireframes, or your ideas
- Business websites, service websites, portfolio websites, and landing pages
- WooCommerce store setup, redesign, product pages, cart, and checkout improvements
- Conversion-focused landing pages for services, products, and campaigns
- Mobile and tablet responsive design
- Website speed and performance optimization
- Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed improvements
- Elementor, WordPress, and WooCommerce bug fixing
- Plugin conflict fixes, layout issues, and responsive problems
- Ongoing WordPress support, updates, backups, security checks, and website improvements
⚙️ How I Work
- I first take time to understand your business, audience, and website goals.
- I create clean, modern, and easy-to-use layouts that represent your brand professionally.
- I focus on user experience, mobile responsiveness, speed, and clear calls to action.
- For larger changes, I work on a staging site first to keep your live website safe.
- I keep communication clear, share progress regularly, and follow agreed timelines.
- I build organized Elementor pages that are easy for you or your team to update later.
🎯 I Am a Good Fit For
- Businesses that need a professional new WordPress website
- Companies looking to redesign an outdated Elementor website
- Service-based businesses that want more leads from their website
