I build custom WordPress systems and advanced WooCommerce platforms designed for high performance, scalability, and complex business logic. If you need clean backend architecture, custom Gutenberg block development, or lightweight integrations rather than bloated visual builders and plugin-heavy setups, I engineer reliable solutions from the ground up.
As a Senior WordPress developer with deep knowledge of core WordPress architecture and modern backend engineering, I write clean, efficient, and maintainable code. I build every site on a stable framework optimized for page speed, technical SEO, and long-term stability.
I regularly handle complex WooCommerce payment gateway setups, advanced ACF data structures, custom Gravity Forms workflows, and secure REST API configurations to safely connect WordPress with AI models like Claude and OpenAI.
WHAT I DO BEST
⮞ Custom WordPress Development: Custom WordPress themes and lightweight plugins built from scratch with zero technical bloat.
⮞ Technical Rescue: Debugging, refactoring, and fixing broken WooCommerce logic or complex backend bugs that other developers fail to solve.
⮞ API Integrations & Workflows: Connecting WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, and core WordPress environments to external CRMs, ERPs, or custom AI agents reliably, ensuring secure communication between LLMs and your database.
⮞ Backend & Database Optimization: Tuning database queries and server architecture for fast, predictable performance, using ACF Pro to structure complex content relations without slowing down the site.
⮞ Advanced WooCommerce: Developing custom checkout flows, secure payment gateways, and complex e-commerce business logic.
THE STACK I USE
⮞ Languages & Databases: PHP (OOP), MySQL, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, SCSS, Tailwind.
⮞ Tools & Workflow: Docker, Git (CI/CD), Vite, Composer, WP-CLI, REST API.
⮞ Core Frameworks & Assets: Laravel, WooCommerce, ACF Pro, Gravity Forms, LearnDash, OpenAI & Claude APIs.
WHY HIRE ME?
✔️ 12+ Years of Experience: Over 300 successful projects completed for clients worldwide.
✔️ No "Plugin Soup": I write clean, custom code instead of stacking 50+ unnecessary plugins that drag down your server performance.
✔️ Fast, Modern Workflow: I develop locally in Docker and use Git for version control. I leverage tools like GitHub Copilot to handle repetitive boilerplate code quickly, so I can focus 100% of my time on your high-level architecture.
SECURITY FIRST
⮞ Secure, well-structured code written to protect your customer data, AI communication channels, and checkout pipelines.

I've been building, maintaining, and troubleshooting WordPress websites for over 10 years — starting in a fast-paced New York agency environment and evolving into a long-term technical partner for businesses that value reliability, precision, and clean work.
At my core I'm a builder and a fixer. I turn Figma and Photoshop designs into pixel-perfect websites. I untangle plugin conflicts. I manage migrations, DNS changes, and hosting environments without drama. I optimize for speed from the ground up — minimal plugin footprint, clean code, modern image formats, proper caching — because performance is part of the deliverable, not an afterthought.
SEO is baked into everything I build. Semantic structure, correct heading hierarchy, clean markup, and optimized metadata are part of how I develop from the first line, not something revisited at the end.
Consistency is something I take seriously — perhaps more than anything else. When I build a new page on an existing website I study the rest of the site first: the margins, paddings, font sizes, colors, spacing patterns. My work needs to belong to the same website, not just sit on it. I hold myself to that standard and I work best with clients who share it.
My strongest page builders are Divi and GenerateBlocks. I'm currently doing active Divi 4 to Divi 5 migration work — rebuilding sites properly from the ground up, replacing legacy Divi 4 plugins that are still incompatible with Divi 5 with custom ACF-based solutions and purpose-built code, and making sure the result is cleaner, more consistent, and better organized than what was there before. This is hands-on, current work, not familiarity from the sidelines. Beyond those, I'm comfortable with Elementor and other popular builders — they all follow the same logic and I adapt quickly. My preferred theme is GeneratePress, though I work confidently across all popular themes.
For multilingual builds I work regularly with WPML and Polylang — both are part of my standard toolkit and I'm comfortable handling complex multilingual setups, including on Divi 5 projects. For plugins I work with ACF Pro, WooCommerce, Rank Math, security plugins, caching plugins, slider plugins, and the broader ecosystem of popular WordPress plugins. For custom needs I write properly structured, commented CSS — including CSS Grid and Flexbox — that keeps layouts fluid and responsive across all screen sizes, not just standard breakpoints.
I've worked across a wide range of hosting environments — from widely used providers like SiteGround, Hostinger and GoDaddy to agency-grade solutions like Nexcess and others that serious operations rely on. I find my way around any hosting panel quickly because the fundamentals are always the same. When support is needed I know how to use it effectively. I follow documentation carefully and I've learned from experience how to tell the difference between a support agent who is genuinely helping and one who just wants to close the ticket. I push until the problem is actually solved — not passed around, not escalated unnecessarily, not closed prematurely.
For project management I've worked with Trello, Jira, ClickUp, and similar ticket-based systems. I work European hours and communicate clearly in English — for EU-based clients and agencies this means real overlap, faster turnaround, and no timezone gymnastics. My communication is clear, proactive, and structured — you won't need to chase me for updates.
I don't do cheap work and I don't enjoy it. If you're building something that needs to be done properly — and maintained properly — that's where I thrive.
What you can expect: clear communication, proactive updates, no chasing, and a partner who notices the details before you have to point them out.
