What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and results-driven web developer with over 11 years of experience in crafting high-quality web applications and managing extensive WordPress projects. My proficiency in writing and optimizing hundreds of thousands of lines of code has equipped me with a deep understanding of web development principles and best practices. I am committed to delivering exceptional results and enhancing user experiences through innovative solutions.
In my current role as a WordPress Lead Developer at Arageek, I successfully reduced the company's infrastructure costs by $2,000 per month by addressing core plugin complexity issues and applying best PHP and WordPress coding practices. I also led the conversion of the company's WordPress website into a headless setup, utilizing Next.js for the front end while maintaining WordPress as the back end. My experience extends to creating custom WP-CLI commands and developing smart search engines that enhance user interaction.
As an Exclusive WordPress Code Author at Envato, I have been involved in the full cycle of creating WordPress themes, ensuring they meet customer needs while providing comprehensive documentation. My role as a WordPress Technical Lead allowed me to develop a website builder that simplifies the process for vendors to create online stores, integrating various payment gateways and shipping providers to facilitate seamless transactions.
