About me

This page is under construction since I have a fulfilling job 🙂

“I’ve been building things on the web for over a decade — mostly in the WordPress world, mostly for clients who needed someone who could think as well as code. These days I’m just as likely to be shaping a project as shipping it.”

Making it happen

Good work starts before anyone writes a line of code. I’ve spent years sitting in rooms – with clients, with developers, with stakeholders pulling in different directions – and figuring out what actually needs to happen. I write proposals, run discovery workshops, estimate projects, and then stay involved long enough to make sure the result matches what was promised.

People

Decisions, not just code

I approach software engineering as a discipline of judgment — what to build, how to structure it, and when to stop. Whether I’m steering a team, reviewing architecture, or directing an AI-assisted workflow, the goal is the same: outcomes that hold up over time and don’t need heroics to maintain.”

Shipped and maintained

WordPress is my home turf. I’ve built and maintained everything from simple multilingual sites to large-scale WooCommerce setups with custom payment gateway integrations, and I know where the bodies are buried in all of it. I care about code that’s fast, maintainable, and won’t surprise the next person who opens it.
