What I'm looking for

I seek remote or international roles building scalable WordPress and Laravel platforms, integrating APIs, and shipping performant web and mobile products with collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a WordPress developer and Web engineer with 5+ years building custom themes, plugins, and integrated web platforms for international clients, notably UK healthcare and recruitment projects.

I specialize in PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, Elementor, Kadence Block Builder, WooCommerce and REST API integrations, and I have delivered performance-optimized, responsive UIs while automating workflows and managing Git-based deployments.

I also build cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter to extend platform reach, collaborate effectively in remote teams, and focus on clean, secure, maintainable code that improves user engagement and operational efficiency.
