    Bio

    I’m a WordPress developer and SEO strategist focused on building practical tools that solve real-world problems like Growranko.com

    Since 2013, I’ve been running a WordPress development and SEO agency through Softtor.com, helping businesses scale their organic traffic and improve site performance. Alongside client work, I build and maintain a growing stack of SEO tools at GrowRanko — focused on keyword research, ranking insights, and AI-driven search optimization.

    My approach is simple: I create plugins and tools that I personally use across my own projects first. This ensures everything I release is tested in real environments, optimized for performance, and built with long-term usability in mind.

    I’m particularly interested in the future of AI in search and how WordPress can adapt to evolving ranking systems.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I discovered WordPress in 2013 when a client needed a business website “by next Friday.” What started as a quick solution turned into a deep dive—themes, plugins, hooks, and everything in between.

    That one project became ten. Ten became fifty.

    Over the years, WordPress has grown into the foundation of almost everything I build—from client projects at Softtor.com to my SEO SaaS platforms like Organicvisit.com and Growranko.com

    What keeps me here is the range. A non-technical business owner can launch a site in an afternoon, while a developer can push the platform incredibly far with the right hooks and architecture. Very few ecosystems support both ends this well.

    I started building plugins out of necessity. Most tools I used solved only part of the problem, so I began creating my own—small, focused, and performance-driven. Each plugin is built to solve one problem properly, and every one is tested on my own projects before release.
