About

I’m a WordPress web developer with 18 years of hands-on experience building, redesigning, maintaining, and launching production-ready WordPress websites and PHP/MySQL web applications. I specialize in turning approved content, brand direction, and business requirements into responsive pages, reusable layouts, and polished user interfaces.

I’m also experienced with custom WordPress theme and page-builder development (including Divi and Elementor), performance and technical SEO, staging-to-production workflows, and thorough QA (responsive behavior, cross-browser compatibility, forms, redirects, and analytics). On top of that, I build and maintain integrations and REST API workflows using PHP/JSON/webhooks, and I troubleshoot real-world production issues across plugins, themes, JavaScript/CSS, MySQL, webhooks, payments, and hosting environments.
