What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build maintainable, production-ready WordPress and PHP systems with strong CI/CD, performance focus, and clean-code standards. I want a team culture that values mentoring, root-cause problem solving, and shipping reliable improvements for global clients.

I’m a Senior Full-Stack PHP Engineer and Lead WordPress Developer with 7+ years designing, developing, and maintaining scalable web applications and enterprise CMS platforms. I focus on object-oriented PHP, Laravel MVC, strong WordPress architecture, REST API development, and MySQL optimization—built with clean code and SOLID principles.

In my current role, I design and maintain PHP-based web platforms and CMS systems, architect RESTful APIs for internal services and third-party integrations, and improve CI/CD deployments using GitHub workflows and Jenkins pipelines. I also provide L2/L3 production support, troubleshoot complex incidents, enforce coding standards through code reviews, and mentor junior developers—driving measurable impact like a 30% reduction in recurring production issues and a 25% improvement in Core Web Vitals.
