Senior WordPress Developer building responsive, high-performance websites with SEO and WooCommerce expertise.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a WordPress Developer with 6+ years of experience building responsive, performance-driven websites that feel smooth for users and strong for search engines. I specialize in WordPress and WooCommerce, with a focus on technical SEO, site speed, and reliable delivery.
Since August 2022, I’ve been working as a Sr. WordPress Developer (WFH), and previously I worked as a WordPress Developer at Gigaquirks Pte Ltd (WFH) from Dec 2019 to Jan 2022. I build and customize stores using WooCommerce, implement Elementor (Pro) pages, and use ACF Pro to keep content flexible and scalable.
I’m hands-on with performance optimization—often achieving a 90+ speed score—along with security best practices and solid website migration and backup workflows. I also configure CDN and caching for faster load times and integrate Google Analytics and Search Console to track and improve outcomes.
Outside pure development, I’ve strengthened my broader digital foundation through a “Web Designing & Publishing” course and a Google certification in “The Fundamentals of Digital Marketing.” I’m eager to learn new web technologies, solve problems logically, and collaborate effectively to deliver performance-driven results.
