Senior WordPress Developer | WooCommerce Expert | Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) | 12+ Years Experience | 500+ Websites Delivered | Remote Worldwide

I am a senior WordPress developer with over 12 years of hands-on experience, having delivered more than 500 websites for agencies and businesses in South Africa, Bangladesh, and clients globally. Since 2017, I have served as the sole WordPress developer for iHeartMedia (South Africa), one of the country’s leading digital marketing agencies. In this role, I have built and maintained over 300 WordPress websites, WooCommerce stores, and high-converting landing pages across more than 20 industries.

What I Build:
I create WordPress websites, WooCommerce stores, custom themes, plugin integrations, landing pages, and comprehensive eCommerce solutions—from initial design to launch and ongoing maintenance. I handle payment gateway integrations (Stripe, PayPal, PayFast, Easyship), checkout customizations, subscription flows, and mobile-first user experiences from start to finish.

What Sets Me Apart:
I hold a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential from EC-Council, which complements my deep WordPress expertise. I successfully saved a WooCommerce store processing over $500K per month from a critical security breach, completing a full security hardening in under 24 hours with zero data loss. Every website I deliver is security-hardened from the ground up, including SSL, firewall rules, DMARC/SPF/DKIM, login protection, and malware prevention.

Performance is Non-Negotiable:
I consistently optimize sites to achieve PageSpeed scores of 90 and above, reducing average load times by 60–80% using WP Rocket, Cloudflare, image compression, and server-level tuning. Core Web Vitals optimization is a standard part of every build.

WordPress Origin Story

I discovered WordPress in 2012 almost by accident. I was hired as a web designer at Creative IT in Bangladesh, and during my first week, a client needed a website built quickly. A senior colleague pointed me to WordPress and said, “Just try it.” I stayed up two nights straight figuring it out, and I was hooked.

What captivated me was not just how powerful WordPress was, but how much you could accomplish without having to reinvent everything from scratch. Within months, I was customizing themes, wrestling with PHP, and building sites that I was genuinely proud of. By the time I joined Graphic Associates International the following year, WordPress had become my full-time focus; I completed over 100 client projects in two years across a wide range of industries.

The real turning point came in 2017 when iHeartMedia, a major digital marketing agency in South Africa, hired me as their dedicated WordPress developer. Working remotely from Bangladesh for a South African agency felt surreal at first, but WordPress made the transition seamless. Over the next eight years, I built more than 300 client websites for them, including WooCommerce stores, lead-generation pages, and multi-industry portals.

During that time, I developed a deep curiosity about security. One incident changed everything: a client’s WooCommerce store, processing over $500,000 a month, was compromised. I managed to fix the issue in under 24 hours with zero data loss. That experience motivated me to earn my Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential and to prioritize security in every single build from that point onward.

Now, twelve years and over 500 websites later, WordPress still surprises me. It is the platform upon which I have built my career, and I’m not done yet.
