What I'm looking for

I want to build and maintain web products with technical ownership—especially WordPress plus modern frontend/backend—where I can collaborate with stakeholders, solve problems fast, and improve reliability long after launch.

I enjoy problem solving, learning new technologies, and building products that continue to bring value after launch—not just during development. I’m experienced in building websites and web applications with a strong focus on reliable solutions and long-term relationships with clients and teams, with clear communication and technical ownership.

I’ve delivered advanced custom WordPress solutions (custom plugins, Gutenberg blocks, and Elementor widgets) and built component-driven frontend architectures using React and Vue. I also develop backend services and internal tools with Node.js, maintain production platforms through ongoing improvement, and support system architecture and technical planning for scalable, maintainable solutions.
