Work experience
July 2022 · Current
WordPress Plugin Engineer
Themefic.com

I build WordPress plugins from scratch and take full ownership of the feature lifecycle, from scoping requirements to shipping to production. I write clean, OOP PHP that holds up across different hosting setups, review my team's code to keep standards consistent, and work directly with clients to turn real business problems into solutions that actually work.

Contract
WordPress Developer (Full-Stack)
Premio.io · Freelance . Remote

I worked across a portfolio of 5–6 live plugins, adding features, squashing bugs, and keeping everything backward compatible. Built new functionality using PHP, Vue.js, and Gutenberg, and handled compatibility issues that cropped up across themes, plugins, and different hosting environments. Also maintained internal sites and landing pages alongside the plugin work.

November 2020 · June 2022
Junior Web Designer & Developer
Smart Framework

Built complete websites for small and medium businesses, from wireframe and design through to launch, using WordPress, Laravel, and raw PHP with OOP. Developed custom themes, designed UI layouts, handled plugin customizations, and kept sites running with ongoing maintenance, security patches, and updates. Also trained clients to manage their own content independently.

3-Star Boutique Hotel, Kolatoli Beach
Designed and built a full hotel booking system from scratch using Laravel and Vue.js with Inertia.js. The frontend lets guests browse rooms and submit booking requests directly. The admin panel, built entirely in Vue, lets staff manage rooms, review and update booking statuses, and send automated emails based on status changes. Also implemented a role management system so a super admin can control access permissions for other users.

A significant collaborative project, built with another developer, converting a Figma design into a fully custom WordPress theme using Tailwind CSS and a clean SCSS architecture. I contributed to the use cases, integrations, resources, and all features pages. No page builders; everything hand-coded.
