🏛️ I architect and build WordPress platforms for high-traffic, enterprise-grade sites — handling tens of thousands of users, complex content models, SSO, and strict performance and security standards.
With 14+ years across PHP, JavaScript, and infrastructure, my work spans data modeling and platform architecture to Gutenberg/React on the front end — with a heavy focus on the VIP platform and managed enterprise hosting.
Tip
I'm equally comfortable shipping a Core patch, designing a multi-CPT content model for a 20K-user portal, debugging a Firefox-specific Gutenberg issue, or wiring up a WireGuard relay for my homelab.
| 🏛️ Architecture & technical leadership | CPT, taxonomy & ACF Flexible Content models for document-heavy and editorial sites; plugin-vs-theme separation, data ownership, migration strategies, SSO provisioning |
| 🔐 Enterprise & VIP engineering | VIP coding standards, ACL filters, offloaded media transformations, develop→preprod→production workflows, Elasticsearch-backed search |
| 🧩 WordPress Core contributor | Active patches and proposals on Trac across media, exports, and admin UI |
| 🎨 Gutenberg & block editor | Custom blocks, dynamic blocks, editor patterns, accessibility, REST API integration |
| ⚙️ Full-stack development | PHP, JavaScript (React/ES6+), Node.js, REST APIs, build tooling, CI/CD |
| 🛡️ Code review & standards | VIP Code Analysis, PHPCS (WPCS), security hardening, performance audits, mentoring |

AI coding agents are a serious part of my toolchain — not autocomplete, but collaborators that need clear specs, guardrails, and context to be productive on real projects.

| 🤝 Coding agents I use daily | Claude Code (terminal-first, hooks-driven) · Antigravity (multi-agent IDE) · ChatGPT Codex (async cloud PRs) |
| 📝 Agent configuration | Authoring AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md specs that encode project architecture, coding standards, forbidden actions, and recipes |
| 🦞 Personal AI ops agent | OpenClaw backed by Gemma 4 31B locally — 24/7 system monitoring with self-healing, doc organization, reminders, scheduled tasks, all via chat apps |
| 🏠 Home automation | Home Assistant integrated with OpenClaw for natural-language control, automated routines, AI-driven scenes |
| 🔄 Workflow design | AI agents + traditional CI/CD + code review + PHPCS — velocity up, quality intact |
Outside of WordPress work, I run a fairly serious homelab — partly because self-hosting is fun, and partly because understanding what happens below the application layer makes me a better architect on the job.
