Ricardo Alves

I'm currently a freelance WordPress developer delivering custom themes, reusable ACF/Gutenberg blocks, and WooCommerce solutions for agencies and direct clients in Portugal, Angola, and the United States.

At Dengun, I built websites and online stores from Figma designs using Elementor Pro, GeneratePress, GenerateBlocks, and WooCommerce. I improved performance and on-page SEO, integrated marketing services and form automation, and resolved complex production frontend issues.

At Goldylocks, I developed a WordPress/WooCommerce plugin integrating an invoicing ERP, synchronizing products and VAT rates while generating invoices automatically. Across team-lead roles at Universal Kraft, Goldylocks, Irreverence Waves, and Segundo Criativo, I led UI/UX and design teams, set usability standards, assigned work, and maintained quality control.

I combine over 12 years of WordPress and WooCommerce development with object-oriented PHP, UI/UX, technical SEO, graphic design, and digital marketing. My focus is clean, reusable, scalable code that supports projects from concept through performance.
