What I'm looking for

I want to build bespoke, high-performance WordPress solutions where I can own technical discovery, architecture, and custom theme development—collaborating closely with designers and PMs to deliver secure, maintainable, accessibility- and SEO-focused sites.

I’m a Senior WordPress Developer with 6+ years of experience delivering bespoke, high-performance websites in agency environments. I translate business and client objectives into scalable technical solutions through thoughtful architecture, clean code, and performance-driven development.

From discovery through launch, I lead technical delivery—handling technical scoping, solution design, custom theme development, integrations, and dynamic content architecture. I make architectural decisions around performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability, while ensuring high standards for code quality, accessibility, SEO, and security.

I’m comfortable collaborating with clients, designers, project managers, and developers, guiding best practices and reviewing implementations to support other developers during delivery. Previously, I built theme architectures with PHP, custom post types, and ACF, and I’ve also delivered front-end work by converting UI/UX designs into responsive, production-ready interfaces.
