Experience

Senior WordPress Developer at Intellectual Bunch Ltd. (2017-06 – Present)

Develop custom WordPress themes from scratch (PHP, HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind CSS, jQuery), converting design files into pixel-perfect, fully responsive, cross-browser-compatible websites with zero visual drift from approved designs.
Build and customize WordPress plugins to deliver bespoke functionality — custom post types, meta boxes, admin settings pages, shortcodes, and dynamic widgets — following WordPress coding standards and security best practices (nonces, sanitization, escaping).
Integrate third-party services and REST APIs (payment gateways, CRMs, email marketing tools, and external data feeds) into WordPress sites, handling authentication, error handling, and data synchronization.
Seamlessly integrated WordPress blogs into existing static HTML websites at subdirectory level, including custom WP_Query-driven features such as "Most Read This Month" sidebars, real category archives, custom meta boxes (featured flags, reference codes, reading time), and navigation unified with the parent site.
Lead theme and plugin customization projects for international clients across the UK, US, and Middle East, gathering requirements, scoping work, providing estimates, and delivering on schedule in a fully remote workflow.
Optimize website performance and Core Web Vitals through caching, asset minification, image optimization, lazy loading, and database query tuning — consistently improving PageSpeed scores and search rankings.
Perform website migrations, version upgrades, security hardening, malware cleanup, and ongoing maintenance for client sites, ensuring high uptime and data integrity with regular backups and staging-first deployments.
Build high-converting custom landing pages and marketing sites (including single-file HTML/CSS/JS builds with advanced animations, custom cursors, SVG graphics, and interactive effects) for fintech and professional-services clients.
Mentor junior developers on WordPress architecture, code review standards, Git workflows, and debugging techniques.
