What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, secure WordPress/cloud platforms with AI-assisted workflows, emphasis on technical SEO, performance, and measurable growth.

I am an AI-augmented WordPress Systems Engineer with 5+ years designing scalable, high-performance web systems, custom architectures, and revenue-oriented digital ecosystems.

I have developed and optimized over 20 high-traffic WordPress platforms, led 10+ enterprise cloud migrations to GoDaddy and Google Cloud, and increased organic traffic by 145% year-over-year through technical SEO and audits.

Previously I directed regional IT operations as a Senior IT Manager, managing >$1M budgets, implementing disaster recovery, and administering enterprise networking and security solutions.

I leverage AI-assisted development workflows (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT), cloud platforms (Google Cloud, AWS), containers (Docker), CI/CD, and strong full-stack PHP/JS experience to deliver stable, secure, and high-performing web experiences.
