I'm a web developer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in WordPress and modern front-end development. I build custom WordPress solutions from the ground up, including fully custom PHP themes, MVC-style structures, and headless WordPress setups. I regularly work with the WordPress REST API (wp-json) and ACF, and I craft scalable, maintainable architectures that blend traditional CMS workflows with modern tooling. Beyond WordPress, I develop with React and Next.js, use GitHub, npm, and Yarn, and embrace component-driven development. I enjoy building fast, accessible interfaces, integrating JavaScript frameworks with WordPress, and refining development workflows with AI-assisted tools for faster iteration and cleaner code. I focus on performance and SEO, delivering Lighthouse and PageSpeed improvements, and I aim for experiences that are fast, accessible, and user-centric.
