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
