Versatile Web Developer with 15+ years of experience architecting, optimizing, and maintaining scalable, high-performance websites for marketing agencies and higher education institutions. Deep expertise in custom WordPress theme and plugin development, custom PHP and HTML landing pages, and payment and CRM integrations (PayPal, Stripe, Revolut Pay, HubSpot, Salesforce, Mautic, Zapier, and other CRM platforms). Hands-on experience managing and maintaining website servers, and comfortable AI-assisted "vibe coding" workflows across a range of AI models to accelerate development.

A true all-arounder who partners closely with lead managers on project quotes and estimates and collaborates directly with content and social media managers to help them execute — while equally comfortable specializing on a project's specific technical needs.
