I build and ship full-stack WordPress platforms at real scale—membership/LMS communities with BuddyBoss and LearnDash, plus WooCommerce and custom plugin architecture (PSR-4, OAuth2, REST APIs). I’ve also authored a published WordPress.org plugin after passing the review process.

At Peasy (Belgian insurtech), I led a WordPress-to-Kubernetes migration, Dockerizing the stack and deploying it to AWS EKS using ArgoCD and GitOps. I built the delivery pipeline end to end with GitHub Actions (OIDC to AWS), ECR image builds, Helm values per environment, and runtime secrets via AWS Secrets Manager with IRSA.

I also own production reliability work: I’ve led root-cause analysis on performance incidents (bot traffic, missing Redis object cache, and multi-GB database bloat) and pushed a remediation plan across teams. On the infrastructure side, I’ve documented CI/CD tooling and infrastructure decisions as architecture decision records.

Before that, I led technical development for WooCommerce stores and improved performance, including load time improvements of about 43% and conversion lift. I’ve also worked with plugin development, full-stack client projects (LearnDash + SCORM, Stripe integrations, Elementor performance turnarounds), and WHM/cPanel administration for ~30 client sites.
