About Me

A hands-on engineer who ships reliable plugin & eCommerce solutions

I'm a software engineer focused on custom WordPress plugin architecture, WooCommerce enhancements, and Shopify storefronts — with front-end work in React, JavaScript, and responsive HTML/CSS layered on top. Over the last 6+ years across product studios and agencies, I've built everything from checkout flows and payment integrations to custom post types, theme systems, and PSD-to-pixel-perfect front-ends.

More recently, I've been folding AI into my day-to-day development — using AI coding assistants to speed up plugin scaffolding and debugging, and exploring how AI APIs can be integrated directly into WordPress/WooCommerce workflows (smart product recommendations, content automation, chat-based support widgets) so the sites I build aren't just fast, but a little smarter too.

AI-Enhanced Development Workflow

I actively use AI coding assistants (like Claude and ChatGPT) to speed up plugin scaffolding, debug tricky WooCommerce/Shopify issues faster, and prototype React components. I'm also increasingly building AI-powered features directly into client sites — think smart product recommendations, AI chat widgets, and content automation hooks — so the plugins and stores I ship are more capable, not just functional.
