Who I am

I’ve been hand-coding and designing websites since 2013, mostly on WordPress and WooCommerce, from enterprise-level stores and networks to small business sites. I’m often the person called in when a live site has a problem nobody else can solve: tracing why payments quietly stopped, cleaning up a bloated store database, or moving a law firm to a new domain without losing its search rankings. I also build with AI, and I review everything that goes in and comes out.

What I do

Take over and stabilize

I audit an unfamiliar site, fix what’s broken or unsafe, speed it up, release a clean update and check it afterward.

Secure and recover

I lock sites down, fix vulnerabilities, replace exposed passwords and keys, and clean up after attacks.

Connect checkout and payments

Checkout is where a store earns its money. I connect payments, tax tools and back-office systems end to end, test full purchases, and add checks so an update is far less likely to break any of it.

Repair at scale

Problems that only show up on big sites: millions of duplicate database rows, server errors under load, pages that run out of memory. I find the cause in the site’s own logs and fix it at the source.

Handle enterprise-level sites

Stores with hundreds of thousands of orders, or tens of thousands of products and variations. Sites tied to live ERPs, multisite networks and intranets, separate dev, test and production environments, and many forms feeding different CRMs.

Build and redesign

Websites designed and coded from scratch, with custom themes and plugins, or an existing site reshaped to look better, load faster and meet WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards. When the domain changes, I protect its search rankings.

AI and search

Building with AI, reviewed at every step

I use AI to assist my work, on top of 13 years of writing code myself, and I run a structured workflow around it. It speeds delivery up without letting quality slip.

Checked at both ends: I review the specification before anything is built, and the code after.

Agentic development

I direct AI coding agents on client codebases, and I test and review their pull requests before anything goes live.

AI as project manager

One AI plans the work and writes the specification, another builds it, and I review and test each handoff. That workflow built e-SwapMeet and this site.
