I am a PHP Backend Developer and WordPress Expert with 8+ years of experience building scalable web solutions, custom CMS implementations, APIs, and performance-focused platforms. I specialize in backend architecture, custom functionality development, and reliable delivery for production websites.

My strongest implementation area is WordPress theme and plugin engineering with Gutenberg + ACF, dynamic content architecture, API integrations, caching strategies, CDN integration, and Core Web Vitals optimization. I work across PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, Docker, Git, Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, Redis/Object Cache, OPcache, NGINX, Apache, and PHP-FPM to deliver maintainable, business-driven systems.

I have also worked across traditional WordPress builds, builder-based ecosystems (Elementor, Divi, Avada, Bricks, Gutenberg), headless WordPress CMS setups, and implementation workflows involving Shopify, Wix, and Webflow.
