I'm Paul — a WooCommerce engineer and technical architect. I built and owned the platform behind a health startup that went from $0 to $80M in annual revenue, I maintain WooCommerce stores doing $2M+/month, and I've taken a store from constant downtime to 60% revenue growth in a single year.
Over 10+ years I've learned that growth is usually a technical problem in disguise — the store that can't scale is almost always held back by infrastructure that was never built to.
Most of my clients aren't looking for a freelancer to knock out a task. They need someone who can see the whole picture — the architecture, the integrations, the team, the roadmap — and make good decisions across all of it. That's the role I step into: a technical partner accountable for outcomes, not just tickets.
WooCommerce is usually where the conversation starts. Custom checkout flows, subscription systems, complex pricing logic, and performance that holds under load are table stakes for me. The higher-leverage work is usually the layer underneath: internal tools, automation pipelines, bespoke business logic, and custom engineering that doesn't fit into a plugin.
What I actually work on:
— WooCommerce architecture and custom builds well beyond off-the-shelf solutions. For high-traffic stores, the right call is sometimes moving critical logic — inventory, pricing, order processing — out of WordPress entirely into dedicated NestJS microservices. WooCommerce stays the storefront; the heavy lifting happens elsewhere.
— Performance engineering: not just PageSpeed scores, but the database queries, caching strategy, and infrastructure decisions that keep a platform fast and resilient at scale — the difference between a store that converts and one that buckles on its biggest day.
— Internal systems and business automation: tools your team actually uses, workflows that remove manual overhead, integrations that connect your stack.
— Technical leadership: stepping in as a de facto CTO or architect, leading dev teams, reviewing code, and keeping complex projects on track.
— AI-powered features where they add real leverage — built into the product where it genuinely moves the needle, not as a buzzword.
Two examples of the pattern in my work:
One store came to me profitable but bleeding: constant downtime from a tangle of plugins and a misconfigured server, and it kept getting hacked — unpatched vulnerabilities, recurring malware. I cleaned up the infrastructure so it stopped falling over, closed the security holes, and took PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals from failing red to green across the board. Once the platform was finally stable and fast, the CRO, Klaviyo, and tracking work — GTM, Triple Whale — could actually do its job, and revenue grew 60% that year.
A venture-backed company running a real-time network of thousands of connected devices across North America came to me with an oddly basic problem for their scale: their own site buckled at around 100 concurrent users. The cause wasn't traffic — it was no caching layer and a server nobody had ever properly configured or owned. I rebuilt the infrastructure so it held under real load and kept running as they grew.
That's the pattern in most of my work: the business is ready to scale, and the infrastructure is what's holding it back.
My stack: PHP, JavaScript, React, Node.js, NestJS, and the full WooCommerce/WordPress ecosystem — plus the measurement layer that proves the work: GTM, Triple Whale, and whatever else the problem calls for.
I work with a small number of clients at a time. If you're building something that needs to last, and you want a technical partner who's done this before at scale — let's talk.

Full Stack Web Developer, 12+ years and 150+ products shipped across 20+ countries. I lead a team of Laravel and Vue.js developers. The work I am proudest of runs real operations: medical transport moving 5,000+ patients a year, delivery fleets planning 500+ routes a day.
Top Rated on Upwork since 2018. Clutch 5.0 across 20 reviews, GoodFirms 4.93 across 25.
You probably recognize yourself in one of these. You are launching a product and want a first version that still holds up a year in. You are running on a system that has gotten slow and fragile, and hard to hand to a new developer. Or you work in a field where the software has to hold up because people depend on what it moves.
WHAT YOU GET
✔️ A Full Stack Web Developer team behind your build. I lead Laravel developer and Vue.js developer specialists plus a WordPress developer. One person out does not stall the build.
✔️ Ratings you can check. 98% positive reviews across 100+ web projects, an 8-year client relationship still running.
✔️ Systems that hold under real load. The Secure Care UK platform runs 5,000+ secure patient transfers a year across a 25+ vehicle fleet and a 24/7 control room.
✔️ Code you can maintain after handover. Documentation, tests and knowledge transfer. You are never locked into depending on us.
Send me what you are building or the system you need fixed, and I will reply with an architecture plan and the first decision I would settle.
Kind regards, Alexandra

AI was supposed to take my job.
It keeps sending me work instead...
A vibe coded app that demoed beautifully and died on contact with real users - that's the exact thing I turn into a scalable, production-ready product!
Full Stack Developer with 10 years of experience and Team Lead delivering 30+ projects - your trusted long-term development and solution architecture partner specializing in React and Node.js
The code is invisible; the outcome is not ✨
With me:
- Autobound grew from one engineer to a 15-person team through 4+ years of our cooperation, raised more than $4M in funding, scaled to 50K+ active users and $8M ARR along the way.
- DriverHRIS evolved from a slow 1000-screen system into a fully rebuilt product serving 400+ dealerships, backed by an 18-person dev team, over 5+ years - page loads dropped 80%, support tickets cut in half.
- Augmento expanded from a prototype to a 15-person dev team in 3 years, powering AR experiences for 30+ global brands including Fortune 500 companies and securing $6M in investment.
- At Wawibox (Germany, dental-industry SaaS), I've led the engineering team for 3+ years - owning the full rewrite of the legacy Vue 2 platform into a modern Vue 3 / Nuxt 3 / Node.js / TypeScript / PostgreSQL stack without a single day of downtime for 2,000+ paying clinics across 3 countries.
🛠 Tech I work with:
Frontend — React · Next.js · Vue 3 · Nuxt 3 · TypeScript · JavaScript
Backend — Node.js · Python
Mobile — React Native · Flutter
Data & infra — PostgreSQL · Firebase · Supabase
AI & tooling — Claude · Claude Code · Cursor · LLM integrations · agentic workflows
I'm also an early and heavy Claude power-user - AI-assisted development is part of how I ship, not a novelty bolted on.
Cursor, Claude Code, agentic workflows, LLM integrations in production - I've been living in this stack since the day it existed.
