What you can hire me for.
Five years of shipping production interfaces — from custom WordPress builds to React applications and design systems. Equally comfortable as an independent contractor or embedded with your team.
/ 02
WordPress — classic & headless.
Custom themes, ACF Pro, Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce. Or headless WP via WPGraphQL feeding a Next.js / Astro frontend.
/ 03
Design systems & UI libraries.
Tokens, components, docs. Built with Radix + Tailwind v4, shadcn/ui patterns, Storybook 8. The kind of foundation that compounds.
/ 04
Performance & Core Web Vitals.
Lighthouse 95+ as a baseline. Real-user metrics, image & font budget, bundle splitting, edge caching — the work that turns into measurable revenue.
/ 05
AI features & LLM integrations.
Ship chat, search, summarization, and agents with the Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI & Anthropic APIs, and vector search.
/ 06
Pairing, mentoring & audits.
Hourly sessions for juniors and small teams. Frontend code reviews, architecture audits, hiring help.
