WordPress developer with 5+ years building secure themes, Gutenberg blocks, and scalable APIs for headless sites.
MadagascarWhat I'm looking for
I’m a WordPress developer with 5+ years in the WordPress ecosystem, building and maintaining custom themes with a mobile-first approach and a strong eye for details. I develop Gutenberg blocks using React.js or ACF, and I build custom plugins following WordPress best practices and coding standards for clean, secure, scalable code.
In my recent roles, I’ve maintained WordPress websites and delivered both RESTful and GraphQL integrations for headless projects, including building GraphQL APIs with ACF and RESTful APIs for headless WordPress. I’ve also integrated marketing tools like GTM and OneTrust, and earlier in my career I managed VPS infrastructure while building and supporting WordPress/WooCommerce sites and API bridges between platforms.
