Agency Background

Engineering that ships, not just code that runs

I build WordPress the way it should be built: custom plugins over page-builder workarounds, clean PHP and JavaScript that the next developer can read without a handover call, and performance that's measured and fixed at the root cause — not patched with a caching plugin.

I ship on time, communicate directly, and don't need hand-holding. If you're hiring for ownership rather than just output, that's what I bring — the full career history is in the Experience section below and on LinkedIn.
