👋 Hi, I'm Roman, a Senior Full-Stack WordPress Developer & Designer with 15 years of experience building high-quality, custom WordPress solutions.
For the past 13 years, I've been crafting WordPress themes and HTML templates as an Elite Author on ThemeForest - a credential earned by fewer than 1% of authors - with a catalog of themes used by thousands of customers worldwide.
My core focus is modern WordPress development, particularly the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and custom block themes - building flexible, performant, and accessible experiences that clients and their teams can actually manage.
What I can help you with:
- Custom WordPress theme & block theme development
- Gutenberg block development & Full Site Editing (FSE)
- Figma, Sketch, PSD, Adobe XD → WordPress conversion
- Elementor, WPBakery customisation & new elements
- Custom plugin development & third-party integrations
- Performance optimisation, bug fixing & redesigns
- Ongoing support & maintenance
I care about clean code, pixel-perfect results, and clear communication - and I bring a designer's eye to every project, not just a developer's.
Whether you need a full custom build or targeted help on a specific feature, I'd love to hear about your project. Let's talk!

WordPress Development – I build fast, reliable WordPress websites tailored to each client’s needs. From business websites and landing pages to more complex platforms, I focus on clean structure, performance, and easy content management.
Custom WordPress Design (Elementor / Figma) – I design and implement modern, user-friendly websites that look great on all devices. I often start with a clear visual concept in Figma and bring it to life in WordPress using tools like Elementor while keeping the design lightweight and efficient.
Website Optimization & Performance – I improve website speed, loading times, and overall performance through image optimization, caching, asset cleanup, and better structure. The goal is always a smooth experience for visitors and better SEO results.
Website Maintenance & Improvements – I help businesses maintain and improve their existing WordPress websites by fixing issues, improving layouts, updating content structures, and implementing new features when needed.

Full Stack Developer with 15+ years of experience delivering scalable production platforms. I am not just a coder; I am a technical partner helping B2B enterprises and SaaS founders translate complex requirements into high-performance software.
If you are looking for a Full Stack Developer to take ownership of your architecture, security, and deployment, you are in the right place.
🚀 Why Clients Choose Me as their Full Stack Developer:
✅ Business-First Engineering: Unlike a standard Web Developer who just writes code, I focus on your ROI. I build systems that solve business problems, from complex API integrations to custom dashboards.
✅ Symfony & Laravel Expert: I specialize in high-end PHP frameworks (Symfony/Laravel) and modern frontend stacks.
✅ Scalable Architecture: My solutions are built to scale. I handle Database Architecture and DevOps (AWS/Docker) so you don't have to hire a separate Backend Developer.
Core Services & Expertise
As your dedicated Full Stack Developer, I cover the entire product lifecycle:
1. Enterprise Web Development (Symfony & PHP) I provide robust Full Stack Developer services using PHP 8.4, Laravel, and Symfony. Whether you need a legacy system modernization or a new SaaS platform, I deliver clean, documented code.
Backend Developer logic that handles complex data processing.
API Development (REST/GraphQL) for mobile and web apps.
Node.js integration for real-time features.
2. Modern Frontend & UI (React Developer) I act as a lead React Developer to build responsive, lightning-fast interfaces.
React Developer expertise for Single Page Applications (SPA).
Front End Developer mastery including HTML5, CSS, and Web Design implementation.
Experience integrating with React Native Developer teams to ensure web/mobile parity.
3. E-Commerce & CMS (WordPress Developer) While I specialize in custom software, I also provide high-level WordPress Developer services for enterprise needs.
Custom WordPress Developer plugin creation and theme development.
WooCommerce and Shopify Developer API integrations.
Performance optimization and technical SEO implementation.
My "Full Stack Developer" Process
When you hire me as your Full Stack Developer, you get a transparent, agile workflow:
Discovery: I analyze your needs better than a typical Web Developer, ensuring we pick the right stack (e.g., deciding between a Python Developer approach or a PHP solution).
Architecture: I design the database (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and infrastructure.
Development: Agile sprints as your Full Stack Developer and React Developer.
Deployment: CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, and AWS setup.
Technical Stack & Capabilities
To ensure I can serve as a comprehensive Full Stack Developer, I maintain proficiency and familiarity across a wide range of technologies found in modern Web Developer environments:
Backend: PHP (Symfony, Laravel), Node.js, Python Developer (Scripting & Scraping integrations).
Frontend: React Developer tools, JavaScript, Angular (Maintenance), Web Design principles.
Mobile Context: Experience architecting APIs consumed by a Mobile App Developer (iOS/Android) or Flutter Developer.
CMS: Enterprise WordPress Developer workflows, Shopify Developer integrations.
Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Linux, Database Design.
Case Studies & Results
SaaS Platform: Acted as Lead Full Stack Developer for a B2B platform, handling 10k+ daily transactions.
Legacy Migration: Replaced an outdated system with a Symfony/React architecture, improving performance by 300%—a result a standard Web Developer rarely achieves.
E-Commerce API: Built a custom middleware connecting a WordPress Developer site to an ERP system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you work with my existing team? A: Yes. I often work alongside a dedicated Front End Developer, React Native Developer, or Mobile App Developer. I can also act as a CTO figure for smaller teams.
Q: Do you handle design? A: I have strong Web Design skills for UI/UX implementation. If you have a graphic designer, I will implement their vision pixel-perfectly as your Front End Developer.
Q: Why choose you over a generic agency? A: An agency assigns you a junior Web Developer. With me, you get a senior Full Stack Developer and React Developer with 15+ years of proven success.
