About
I’m Daniel Paz, a Senior WordPress Engineer and Technical Lead with 10+ years building and scaling enterprise WordPress platforms. I lead complex WordPress multisite and integration projects—most notably a 30+ property hotel network with real-time booking system integration—while focusing on clean architecture, performance, and maintainability.
I’m hands-on across PHP, WordPress, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, creating custom plugins and themes from scratch and extending the editor with custom Gutenberg blocks and Block Editor sidebar tooling. I also bring strong engineering discipline around testing (PHPUnit, PHPStan, Playwright), monitoring and performance (Sentry, New Relic, Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals), and secure, accessible delivery aligned with ADA and PCI DSS—often accelerating development using AI agent workflows.
