About

Engineering bespoke WordPress experiences.

I partner with design-led agencies and product teams to build durable WordPress and WooCommerce platforms that scale.

I focus on building clean, performant WordPress solutions for agencies and businesses. I work across the full stack — from custom themes and WooCommerce builds to headless architectures and plugin development — with a strong focus on code quality and long-term maintainability.
