What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an Agile, remote-first team where I can build headless WordPress and optimize Core Web Vitals—delivering zero-downtime migrations, API integrations, and measurable conversion + performance improvements.

I’m a Senior WordPress Engineer with 7+ years of experience building, optimizing, and maintaining high-performance WordPress environments for US agencies and product teams. I deliver headless WordPress architectures (Next.js, WPGraphQL, GraphQL, REST API), WooCommerce platforms, and high-traffic marketing sites that measurably improve speed and conversion.

Across 100+ projects, I’ve improved PageSpeed scores from 30 to 90+ across 50+ sites, reducing page load times by 45%+. I also raise landing page conversion rates by 24% through CRO-focused layout and content hierarchy optimization, and I’ve reduced property publishing time by 80% (3h → 15min) using the OwnerRez API with PHP, REST API, ACF mapping, and custom shortcodes.

I work hands-on with PHP, WP-CLI, Composer, custom plugin development, API integrations, and zero-downtime migrations, maintaining 99.9% uptime through proactive monitoring and incident response. In Agile/Scrum environments, I lead weekly code reviews and pair programming for junior engineers, while working across Jira and ClickUp in remote-first teams.
