What I do

Hire a senior PHP & WordPress developer who ships

From a single plugin to a multi-team product roadmap — pick the engagement that fits.

Custom WordPress Plugins

Production-ready plugins built to WordPress coding standards — booking systems, LMS, registration, integrations. The kind of code that survives core updates.

  • Plugin architecture & review
  • WooCommerce & Gutenberg
  • WordPress.org submission

Laravel & PHP Applications

SaaS platforms, REST APIs, internal tools and dashboards built with Laravel — clean architecture, tested, and deploy-ready on AWS or your stack of choice.

  • API design & integrations
  • Auth, billing, multi-tenant
  • Performance tuning

Project Management

Sprint planning, hiring, code review and stakeholder reporting for engineering teams that need a senior hand to keep delivery predictable.

  • Sprint & roadmap ownership
  • Developer hiring & mentoring
  • Process & quality gates

Why work with me

Senior, dependable, and easy to work with

12+ years in PHP

Deep experience across WordPress, Laravel, CodeIgniter, Magento and Joomla — boring, battle-tested choices that make your software last.

I lead teams too

Four-plus years as a project manager mean realistic estimates, clear status updates and predictable delivery — not surprises in the final week.

Open-source mindset

Active on WordPress.org and GitHub. I write code your next developer can read — well-structured, documented and reviewed.
