I help organizations build, repair, and scale complex WordPress systems — especially when performance issues, technical debt, or custom functionality start getting in the way. For nearly a decade I served as the Program Manager of Web Development at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, where I was the sole developer responsible for building and maintaining the institution’s web infrastructure. My work included custom WordPress applications, internal automation tools, large-scale data integrations, and performance optimization across a high-traffic public website. Today I work with companies that need a technical partner, not just a page builder. Typical projects include: • Debugging complex WordPress and integration issues • Performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, caching, asset pipelines) • Custom plugin and API integrations • Data-driven web applications and automation • Architecture cleanup and long-term maintenance • Custom admin tools I’m comfortable stepping into existing systems, diagnosing issues quickly, and implementing clean, maintainable solutions. Core technologies include WordPress, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript, MySQL, Git, SCSS/CSS, REST APIs, and modern frontend frameworks. I also work regularly with Elementor, custom themes, and plugin development. Many of my clients bring me in after systems have grown complex or difficult to maintain — I’m comfortable stepping into existing codebases and stabilizing them quickly. If you're looking for someone who can own the technical side of your website and keep it running smoothly, I’m happy to help.
