WORDPRESS ENGINEERING — PLUGINS, INTEGRATIONS, PERFORMANCE, SECURITY
I build and stabilise WordPress/WooCommerce platforms where reliability and maintainability matter — payments, APIs, data pipelines, performance work, and incident-driven debugging.
End-to-end WordPress development focused on backend logic, integrations, and long-term maintainability.
Domain-specific workflows, admin tooling, custom data models
CPTs/taxonomies at scale, complex relationships
Clean, testable PHP with predictable behaviour in production
Incremental refactors without breaking the system
Custom REST endpoints, auth, signatures, idempotency
PSP/CRM/LMS integrations, webhooks, async flows
Bidirectional sync and reconciliation strategies
Node/Python helpers when WP isn’t the right runtime
Profiling bottlenecks: queries, autoload, hooks, templates
Caching strategy: object cache, page cache, CDN awareness
Database structure + indexes for real workloads
High-traffic and large dataset tuning
Hardening admin + endpoints, capability design
Safe input handling, validation, rate-limits
Payment and sensitive-data flows (least privilege)
Production incident response and root-cause analysis
Taking over large WordPress codebases
Refactoring without feature regression
Reducing operational risk with small, safe steps
Making “tribal knowledge” explicit (docs/runbooks)
Git workflows, code reviews, release discipline
Debugging via logs/metrics, reproducible steps
WP-CLI, cron/background jobs, task queues
AWS/Cloudflare and production-grade environments
I’m usually brought into projects where WordPress goes beyond standard themes and plugins.
