Senior Full Stack Developer | PHP • WordPress • REST APIs • CMS Architecture

I build high-performance web platforms, custom CMS solutions, and backend systems with a strong focus on clean architecture, maintainability, and real-world production reliability.

By trade I work primarily with PHP and WordPress at scale.
By curiosity I enjoy building systems from scratch to better understand fundamentals, performance tradeoffs, and architecture decisions.

A lightweight content management system built entirely in pure PHP as a personal engineering challenge — no frameworks, no dependencies.

Highlights

• ~350KB total footprint
• Sub-50ms page loads (no caching)
• Plugin architecture with WordPress-style hooks
• REST API for headless usage
• Role-based security model
• Clean, readable codebase

This project exists to explore architecture, performance, and developer ergonomics — not as a commercial product.

Backend

• PHP
• MySQL / SQL
• REST APIs
• Authentication & security
• Data modeling & architecture

Frontend

• JavaScript
• Vue.js
• HTML / CSS
• Admin UX tooling

Platforms & Tooling

• WordPress (custom plugins, architecture, performance)
• Git
• Linux / Server environments
• CI workflows

• Clean architecture over clever abstractions
• Performance that comes from understanding fundamentals
• Maintainable systems that scale with people, not just traffic
• Practical engineering over process theater
• Shipping real value instead of unnecessary complexity

You’ll also find:

• Tools and utilities
• Game modding experiments
• Image processing utilities
• Localization tooling
• Various technical experiments

Pinned repositories highlight the most relevant work.

If you enjoy building real systems and solving real problems, we’ll probably get along.
