Bio

I’m Ayal — a forward-thinking web developer with over 9 years of experience, blending clean code with creative tech. My work sits at the intersection of design, accessibility, and immersive technology. I’m not just building websites — I’m building digital experiences that scale, adapt, and inspire.

Whether it’s custom WordPress development, 3D and XR integration, or accessibility-first design, I focus on solutions that actually make a difference. I’m currently leading the launch of ExpoXR, a suite of tools designed to bring XR to the web — starting with the ExploreXR plugin for WordPress.

Driven by detail, motivated by impact, and always up for a challenge.

Interests

Immersive Tech (XR/AR/3D): Building tools and platforms that bring the digital into the physical world, starting with exhibition planning in AR through my app ExhibitionXR.

Accessibility & Inclusive Design: Making the web usable for everyone — not just compliant, but thoughtful. My plugin Easily Accessible reflects that mission.

Automation & Efficiency: From GitHub workflows to license management systems, I believe in streamlining tech for real-world clarity.

Creative Tools: Blender, Unity, Elementor — I see tech as a toolset for creativity. Whether I’m working on a plugin or a 3D layout planner, I bring a designer’s mind to the developer’s keyboard.

Multilingual UX & Culture: With roots across cultures and languages (German, Arabic, Circassian, English and Russian), I’m fascinated by interfaces that transcend borders.

WordPress Origin Story

My journey into WordPress started like many — out of necessity. But it didn’t take long before it evolved into passion and precision.

What began with tweaking themes turned into crafting custom plugins, optimizing performance, and eventually leading full-scale projects across industries. WordPress became my canvas — flexible, open, and powerful enough to build anything I could imagine.

I leaned into it hard: building client solutions, improving accessibility, developing scalable systems, and contributing ideas that push the boundaries of what WordPress can do — especially in 3D and XR.

Now, I don’t just use WordPress. I extend it, reshape it, and turn it into something smarter.
