I'm Paul — a WooCommerce engineer and technical architect. I scaled a health startup from $0 to $80M in annual revenue, maintain WooCommerce platforms doing $2M+/month, and helped one store grow revenue 60% 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, custom plugin development, and platform 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 and 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.
A recent example: a venture-backed infrastructure company — one running a large real-time network of thousands of connected devices across North America — came to me because, for all their scale and funding, they hadn't found a team that could reliably own their server infrastructure. I stabilized their platform under sustained real-time load (100+ concurrent users) where it had been faltering, so the operation kept running instead of buckling 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 whatever the problem actually 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.

🚀 I’m a Senior WordPress developer & WooCommerce developer helping businesses fix critical issues, scale their websites, and increase revenue.
I work with companies whose WordPress or WooCommerce projects are losing money due to bugs, slow performance, broken payments, or unreliable integrations.
My goal is simple: make your website stable, fast, and profitable so it supports your business instead of blocking it.
If your wordpress website is slow, unstable, or your woocomerce store has checkout errors, broken payments, API issues, or plugin conflicts — I can help.
I work as a WordPress Developer, WooCommerce Developer, and PHP developer, focusing on solving complex technical problems that directly affect business revenue.
As a WordPress Developer, WooCommerce Developer, and PHP developer, I work at the intersection of business logic and technical architecture. I help companies turn unstable WordPress and WooCommerce systems into reliable revenue-generating platforms by fixing deep technical issues, refactoring legacy code, and building scalable backend solutions. My experience as a WordPress Developer, WooCommerce Developer, and PHP developer allows me to quickly identify root causes, not just symptoms, and deliver long-term solutions that support growth instead of limiting it.
Clients usually contact me when:
✔ Their WooCommerce checkout or payments stop working
✔ External APIs fail during registration or order processing
✔ Plugins conflict and cause random bugs
✔ Performance issues hurt conversions
✔ Existing wordpress website code is hard to maintain
As a professional web developer and full stack developer, I don’t just “patch bugs” — I build stable, scalable solutions.
