I’m a PHP Backend Developer with 8+ years of experience building scalable web solutions, with deep expertise in WordPress engineering. My core strength is backend development with PHP, designing custom plugin architecture, building and consuming APIs, optimizing MySQL queries, improving performance, and maintaining reliable deployment workflows. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with WordPress, but my work goes far beyond standard site building. I develop custom backend solutions, integrate external systems and CRMs, improve Core Web Vitals, optimize caching layers, and support high-traffic publishing and business platforms. I’ve worked on custom themes and plugins, REST API integrations, dynamic content architecture, CDN and caching strategies, and server-level performance improvements using tools and platforms such as Cloudflare, Redis/Object Cache, OPcache, Git, Docker, NGINX, Apache, and MySQL. Earlier in my career, I also worked as a Backend Developer using Laravel + Vue.js, which strengthened my broader application development and backend problem-solving skills. I’m especially interested in backend-focused PHP roles involving API integrations, application architecture, WordPress engineering, WooCommerce, performance optimization, and scalable content/eCommerce systems.
