Available to hire
Hi, I’m Matevž, a senior engineer with 12+ years across high-end WordPress, GSAP motion work, and AI-powered platform development using React, Next.js, and the Claude API. I enjoy turning complex requirements into robust, scalable solutions that feel fast and intuitive for users.
I specialize in native ACF Block and Gutenberg development—building live-preview blocks with PHP and block.js without React overhead—and I love integrating AI tooling into development pipelines to cut delivery cycles while maintaining QA standards. I collaborate with US teams and enterprise clients to deliver polished experiences end to end.
