About
I specialize in: — Custom theme and plugin architecture (OOP PHP, hooks/filters, REST API) — Core Web Vitals performance optimization — PageSpeed 90+ on desktop and mobile — WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility compliance (ARIA, keyboard navigation, NVDA/VoiceOver tested) — WordPress security hardening (sanitization, nonce verification, capability checks, XSS/CSRF protection) — WooCommerce customization and third-party API integrations (built a Twilio IVR system on a WordPress backend) Currently at Codeworks Consulting, where I have been the sole developer managing full project delivery for 9 years — from architecture decisions through deployment. I am currently deepening my expertise in WordPress VIP standards, Gutenberg block development, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions + PHPCS), preparing for Senior WordPress Engineer roles at enterprise-level teams
