Hi there, I saw your posting for a Web Developer requiring Next.js and WordPress skills. This matches my profile perfectly. I have extensive experience extending WordPress functionality and have recently built high-performance apps using Next.js 15 and TypeScript (see my 'Dublin Foodie Guide' project). Although I am based in Ireland, I am fully available to collaborate during your required hours (9 AM - 2 PM EST) and am used to working remotely with North American teams (currently working for a Toronto-based agency). Looking forward to discussing how I can help your project. Best, William
