Frontend Dev & WordPress Specialist | React, Next.js, WooCommerce | 3+ years building fast, conversion focused sites. Open to remote contracts.
What I'm looking for
I specialize in transforming online presence through results driven development. My work includes optimizing 30+ WordPress sites with load time reductions of up to 50%, building WooCommerce stores that have driven 30% revenue increases post launch, and delivering modern React and Next.js frontends using TypeScript and Tailwind CSS.
My expertise spans the full delivery cycle — from translating Figma designs with pixel perfect accuracy to handling domain setup, DNS configuration, SMTP troubleshooting, and deployment. I also bring technical SEO knowledge that improves organic traffic and search rankings from day one.
I am an active open source contributor with 18 merged PRs working with React, Next.js, and TypeScript in collaborative team codebases.
I thrive on managing projects from concept to deployment, with a consistent focus on clean code, clear communication, and on time delivery.
