Senior full-stack developer who owns features end to end — architecture, build, deployment, and ongoing support. Deep backend experience in PHP and WordPress since 2007, with front-end and app development using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue, and Node. I’ve led remote-first teams across time zones and shipped uptime-critical web and mobile applications for media, education, and government clients. Accessibility is built in from the first commit (WCAG 2.2 AA / AODA), and I focus on performance, technical SEO, and reliable integrations.
