About Me
Why work with me
With 15+ years of experience in WordPress & PHP backend development, I don't just build websites. I take responsibility for performance, integrations, and long-term maintainability so you can focus on running your business.
If your site feels slow, fragile, or overly dependent on plugins — I step in, simplify the architecture, and make it reliable. From custom WordPress backends to headless Next.js frontends, I deliver clean, documented solutions.
