What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles in content-driven teams where I can build scalable WordPress solutions, improve performance, and collaborate across design, editorial, and product to drive measurable business impact.

I am a WordPress-focused software engineer with over a decade of experience building and maintaining large-scale publishing and marketing sites. I specialize in custom themes, plugins, and integrations on high-traffic WordPress platforms.

I have strong technical skills in PHP, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, MySQL, and Git-based workflows, and I prioritize performance, accessibility, and SEO to support editorial agility and business growth. I have experience troubleshooting complex WordPress internals and delivering reliable, scalable solutions.

In recent roles I engineered features for a custom WordPress site that contributed to 25% revenue growth over two years and helped support a site generating $52 million annually with 3 million monthly visitors. I have also led frontend modernization efforts, built internal tooling that saved significant annual subscription costs, and created style guides and reusable components to accelerate development.

I thrive in fully remote, cross-functional teams collaborating with editors, designers, product managers, and marketing stakeholders to produce measurable business results and improve user experiences.
