What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role building scalable PHP/WordPress applications, with opportunities for mentorship, API work, and performance-focused development.

I am a PHP web developer with three years of hands-on experience building robust, user-focused web applications using Core PHP, CodeIgniter and WordPress. I design and optimize MySQL databases, implement REST APIs and integrate third-party services to deliver performant back-end solutions.

I have delivered custom WordPress themes and plugins, worked with WooCommerce and page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder), and applied SEO, accessibility and performance best practices. I use AJAX, JavaScript/jQuery and Bootstrap for dynamic, responsive front ends.

I collaborate closely with clients and teams, mentor junior developers, and follow Git-based workflows to ensure maintainable, scalable code and timely project delivery.
