I’m a senior full stack web developer with 14+ years of experience building and optimizing WordPress, Shopify, and multi-platform websites for fast-paced agency environments. I focus on performance, technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, and production-ready delivery across the full development lifecycle—from implementation and deployment to debugging and ongoing maintenance. I enjoy creating scalable, maintainable solutions using custom WordPress architectures (themes, plugins, ACF/CPTs, reusable components) and API-driven integrations (REST APIs, webhooks, CRMs, and automation workflows). Along with development, I take ownership of QA processes such as regression testing, cross-browser and responsive checks, and release readiness—so teams can launch confidently and users get fast, reliable experiences.
