    Bio

    I’m a Senior WordPress Developer and AI Automation Engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering high-quality digital solutions for businesses across the US, EU, UK, and beyond.

    Over the years I’ve built everything from custom WordPress themes and WooCommerce stores to GPT-powered AI chatbots and fully automated business workflows. My work sits at the intersection of clean development, smart automation, and real business impact every solution I ship is fast, scalable, and built to last.

    Whether you need a performance-driven WordPress site, a custom plugin, a converting eCommerce store, or an AI agent that handles your leads and support 24/7 I’ve got you covered end to end.

    Interests

    On the tech side, I’m deeply interested in AI and automation building intelligent chatbots, RAG pipelines, and workflow automations that solve real business problems. I enjoy pushing WordPress beyond its limits, exploring Laravel architecture, diving into DevOps practices like CI/CD, containerization, and server management, and staying on top of everything happening in the AI/LLM space.

    Outside of code, I’m a cricket and football fan, an occasional reader, and someone who genuinely enjoys breaking things just to figure out how to fix them better. That last part has served me well as a developer.

    WordPress Origin Story

    My journey into development didn’t start with WordPress it started with curiosity. During my Software Engg degree I was writing C++, building Android apps in Kotlin and Java, experimenting with PHP, and learning how the web actually works under the hood. That broad foundation taught me to think like an engineer, not just a developer.

    WordPress came naturally as I moved deeper into web development. I quickly realized it wasn’t just a blogging tool in the right hands it’s a powerful platform capable of running anything from simple business sites to complex custom applications. That realization changed everything.

    Over 8 years later I’ve delivered 500+ projects custom themes, plugins, WooCommerce stores, Laravel web apps, and now AI-powered chatbots and automation workflows. WordPress has always been at the core, but my background across PHP, Android, DevOps, and AI is what lets me build solutions that go beyond what most WordPress developers offer.

    I don’t install themes. I engineer solutions.
