I’m looking for a seasoned WordPress developer with roughly three to five years of hands-on experience who can jump straight into advanced plugin work, theme tweaks, and performance-minded database tasks. You should feel entirely at home with PHP 7+ and object-oriented patterns, know MySQL optimization inside out, and be able to blend clean HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery into whatever you ship. I lean on Git for version control and already have a simple CI/CD pipeline in place, so your familiarity there will keep everything humming. While many of my projects touch Laravel and CodeIgniter, I have no strong preference between the two—use whichever framework lets you move fastest when a micro-service or API endpoint is the better route than pure WordPress. Secure coding matters just as much as speed. Expect to harden every line you write against XSS, CSRF, and SQL-injection vectors. If you have prior exposure to AWS deployments (think EC2 for hosting, S3 for off-site assets, RDS for managed MySQL, and CloudWatch for logs) that will save us both headaches as traffic scales, but I’m happy to walk through my existing setup if you only have partial experience. Typical deliverables on my desk include: • A custom or extended WordPress plugin pushed to a private Git repo with a clean README and documented hooks. • Performance-tuned database queries or schema adjustments proven by query logs. • Front-end adjustments that preserve pixel accuracy while keeping Lighthouse scores high. • A pull request that passes automated tests and triggers a green build in the pipeline. If this stack sounds like your day-to-day and you enjoy solving real-world problems without red tape, let’s connect—I'd like to review a recent plugin or code sample and outline the first sprint together.
