I’m a backend-focused software engineer working at the intersection of WordPress internals, Laravel-based backends, and headless architectures.

I don’t just “build websites” — I design maintainable systems, extensible plugins, clean APIs, and product-ready backends that scale beyond MVPs.

I work deeply with WordPress beyond page builders and surface-level customization.

• Plugin architecture (actions, filters, custom hooks)
• Custom post types, taxonomies, meta handling
• Secure admin interfaces & workflow systems
• Cron jobs, background tasks, and performance tuning
• REST API & WPGraphQL for headless use cases
• Clean separation of concerns inside plugins
• WordPress coding standards & long-term maintainability

I treat WordPress as an application framework, not just a CMS.

I use Laravel as my primary backend framework for building robust services and APIs.

• RESTful API design
• Service-layer architecture
• DTO-driven business logic
• Queue jobs, scheduled tasks, and background workers
• Authentication, authorization, and role systems
• Database design, migrations, and performance-aware queries
• Integration with third-party systems and services

Laravel is where I model real business logic, not just controllers and routes.

I specialize in decoupled systems where the frontend and backend evolve independently.

• WordPress as a headless CMS
• Laravel as a central orchestration backend
• API-first thinking (REST / JSON contracts)
• Frontend-agnostic architectures
• Clear data contracts between systems
• Product-minded backend design

This approach allows teams to move faster without creating technical debt.

You’ll find repositories here covering:

• Custom WordPress plugins (workflow systems, content tooling, admin extensions)
• Laravel backend services and APIs
• Headless WordPress experiments
• Architecture-focused prototypes
• Internal tools built to solve real problems

Most projects prioritize clarity, structure, and long-term maintainability over shortcuts.

Backend

• PHP
• Laravel
• WordPress Core

Frontend (as needed)

• Blade
• Tailwind CSS
• React
• API-driven frontends

Architecture & Tools

• REST APIs
• MySQL
• Git & GitHub
• Modular, service-oriented codebases

• Clarity over cleverness
• Architecture before frameworks
• Readability is a feature
• Systems should explain themselves through structure
• Ship responsibly

I’m open to:

• Serious WordPress plugin/theme development
• Backend-heavy Laravel systems
• Headless and API-first products
• Long-term technical collaborations
