## About

```text
At Savvy Programmers, I develop custom BigCommerce solutions, including Stencil themes, widgets, and apps, and customize NetSuite SuiteCommerce for enterprise clients.

I also lead WordPress projects involving site migrations, custom plugins, and page builders, and develop Shopify stores with Liquid. My work there includes basic support for Webflow projects.

At iSoft-Technologies, I led development and maintenance across 20+ web platforms and created 10+ custom WordPress themes and plugins. I integrated 15+ third-party APIs and payment gateways and reduced page load times by 40% through caching, image optimization, and code refactoring.

Earlier, I led and mentored a team of six developers at ExertLogics and improved productivity by 25%. At TechSols, I managed 50+ production websites; across my work, I’ve developed PHP applications and e-commerce solutions using Laravel, WordPress, BigCommerce, and Shopify.
