Backend solutions engineered for high performance.
From bespoke Gutenberg blocks and high-traffic WooCommerce architectures to Redis caching and headless CMS solutions - explore how I build software that scales reliably.
Custom WordPress & Gutenberg Block Development
Tailored WordPress engineering without visual builder bloat. I build custom themes from scratch using Full Site Editing (FSE), custom block structures with ACF Pro, and scalable post hierarchies.
- Custom Gutenberg Blocks: React-backed and ACF Pro native blocks that give editorial teams complete design fidelity.
- Custom Post Types & Taxonomies: Relational content models designed for structured data queries and faceted filtering.
- Zero Bloat Architecture: Eliminating heavy 3rd-party page builders for pure speed and clean DOM markup.
PHP Architecture & REST API Engineering
Clean object-oriented PHP 8.x backend logic, high-throughput REST API controllers, webhook event listeners, and MySQL database index tuning.
- REST API Controllers: Secure, versioned endpoints (`/wp-json/api/v1`) with HMAC token validation and rate limiting.
- CRM & ERP Integrations: Bidirectional data synchronization connecting web platforms with HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, and Zapier.
- Database Optimization: MySQL slow-query refactoring, composite indexing, and normalized schemas.
Core Web Vitals & Server Caching Optimization
Full-stack speed engineering designed to achieve 95+ Google Lighthouse scores, under 100ms TTFB, and zero Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
- Object Caching: Redis in-memory key-value caching eliminating redundant database queries on high-traffic pages.
- Server Stack Tuning: OPcache memory allocation, PHP-FPM pool optimization, and NGINX microcaching rules.
- Edge CDN Delivery: Cloudflare edge caching, image optimization pipelines (WebP/AVIF), and script deferral.
WooCommerce Engineering & Custom Store Architecture
High-converting e-commerce engines with streamlined checkouts, custom product bundle logic, dynamic shipping rules, and payment gateways.
- Frictionless Checkout: Single-page AJAX checkouts reducing cart drop-off on mobile devices.
- Custom Product Engines: Subscription engines, tiered wholesale pricing, and inventory sync APIs.
- Security & PCI Compliance: Hardened transaction flows and webhook reconciliation.
