Profiles

I joined Toptal as a vetted contractor in April 2020 and delivered around 100 engagements over four years for clients across the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East. The work spanned WordPress plugin development, WooCommerce, payment integrations, performance and stability remediation, theme builds, and headless WordPress with React.What I did and who I did it for. Built a custom WooCommerce theme for a US sports travel company that ran their entire booking flow. Extended a commercial WooCommerce plugin for an EU SaaS client to support the new Blocks Cart and Checkout, including gift-card calculation logic with backwards-compatible behaviour on the classic checkout. Diagnosed and resolved invoice-sync and payment-status failures between WooCommerce and Square for a Microsoft certifications training company, eliminating a manual workaround that had been blocking their order flow. Did long-term performance and stability work on a high-traffic LearnDash + WooCommerce membership site, including supporting the backend API consumed by the client's mobile app. Modernised a satellite-communications trade publication on the Genesis Framework with a Master Child Theme architecture, WP Engine migration, and a full Core Web Vitals audit. Built custom plugins for an EdTech platform integrating Google Analytics and custom data layers. Ran payment integration work in real estate (Dubai), hospitality, surety bonds, and a Kenyan banking gateway for a non-profit serving low-income communities.Impact. Every engagement shipped to production. Several led to extended retainers. Toptal's repeat-engagement rate is the closest thing to a quality metric in contract work, and mine was high.
