    Bio

    WordPress developer focused on custom plugins, Gutenberg development, REST APIs, and scalable WordPress architecture. I enjoy experimenting with modern WordPress workflows, and improving performance, maintainability, and code structure. Currently deepening my software engineering skills through hands-on projects involving React, databases, APIs, and WordPress internals.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Back in 2012, I wanted to start a blog, and every path I researched led to WordPress. So I built it with WordPress. Soon after, I wanted to customize the design and add new functionality, which pushed me to learn PHP, CSS, and HTML. What started as small tweaks quickly turned into a deeper interest in development and problem-solving.

    Over time, people began hiring me to build and customize their websites. That eventually led to working with companies on larger and more complex WordPress projects. More than 10 years later, I’m still building with WordPress — now with a much stronger focus on engineering, architecture, custom plugins, APIs, performance, and modern development workflows.
