I build secure, production web platforms with PHP, WordPress, AWS, and scalable database architecture.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I've built secure production web platforms for companies, including a payroll validation platform with PDF ingestion, REST API integrations, multi-tenant database architecture, and custom PHP tooling for high-volume data integration. I also own security protocols, achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification, coordinated penetration testing, and manage AWS infrastructure, DNS, releases, and compliance.
Across multiple roles, I've delivered bespoke PHP and WordPress websites, ecommerce pages, custom themes and plugins, and front- and back-end applications. I work closely with designers, agencies, clients, and non-technical stakeholders to turn requirements into robust, maintainable solutions.
