I build custom WordPress and web applications, from Figma interfaces to secure, high-performing production platforms.

I've spent over 10 years building custom WordPress sites, WooCommerce stores, and web applications for clients in Brazil and the United States. At Lion Art Creative Studio, I take projects from the first call through design, development, hosting, security, and ongoing maintenance.

I also build and maintain a Laravel and Angular platform for Meet The Need Ministries that connects volunteers, churches, and people in need across United States communities. My work spans PHP, MySQL, React, REST APIs, Docker, AWS, Figma, and performance-focused production infrastructure.
