Years of Experience
Available for long-term projects and system-level work
ABOUT — HOW I THINK
WordPress is not a CMS. It’s an engineering platform.
I approach WordPress the same way I approach any serious software system: architecture first, performance by design, and long-term stability over shortcuts.
Over the past 6+ years, I’ve worked on real production systems — not demo projects — often in constrained markets where popular SaaS tools, payment gateways, or integrations simply don’t exist or don’t work.
WHAT I ACTUALLY DO
I’m not a generalist. I work on systems that break when done wrong.
Custom WordPress Systems
Custom WordPress Systems I build WordPress as a system — when off-the-shelf setups aren’t enough.
Performance Engineering
I fix slow, fragile systems under real traffic and real pressure.
Custom Plugins (Business Logic)
I write plugins when business rules don’t fit existing tools.
Complex Integrations
I connect systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
WooCommerce Beyond Themes
I work on checkout logic, pricing rules, and flows that directly affect revenue.
EXPERIENCE (NO FLUFF)
In several projects — especially in the Russian market — I worked in environments where:
- 6+ years building and maintaining production WordPress systems
- Remote work across different markets and constraints
- Full ownership: architecture, development, performance, and maintenance
- Comfortable working solo or leading the technical direction when needed
If something breaks — I know why.
If something scales — I planned for it.
What this experience means
• Fewer unknowns
• Fewer emergency fixes
• Systems designed to survive growth
SKILLS (WHAT MATTERS)
No buzzwords.
Only tools I’ve used under pressure.
WordPress (as a system)
Core lifecycle, hooks, data flow — and knowing where things break in real projects.
MySQL
Schema design, query optimization, and real production data at scale.
PHP
Business logic, performance-sensitive code, and systems meant to last.
MySQL
Schema design, query optimization, and real production data at scale.
Architecture
System-level decisions, boundaries, data flow, and long-term maintainability.
Performance Optimization
Profiling, bottlenecks, Core Web Vitals, and scaling under real traffic.
API Design & Integration
Clean REST APIs, third-party integrations, and internal services that don’t break.
Custom Plugin Development
Business logic, clean abstractions, and plugins built to survive growth.

WooCommerce

Elementor
Used when it makes sense — extended, controlled, and never abused.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work best with:
I work best with:
- Founders who think in years, not sprints
- Small teams that value ownership and accountability
- Businesses that need systems — not task execution
I’m probably not a good fit if you’re looking for:
I’m probably not a good fit if you’re looking for:
- someone to “just implement designs”
- someone who needs constant direction
- someone who follows instructions without questioning them
If you want someone who:
If you want someone who:
- thinks in systems, not pages
- challenges bad decisions early — before they become expensive
- builds things that don’t need rewriting every six months
We’ll work well together.

WORKING STYLE
I’m fast because I’m deliberate.
I move fast because I think in systems, not tasks.
I optimize for clarity before execution, ownership before delegation,
and long-term stability over short-term speed.
That means fewer meetings, fewer handoffs, and fewer surprises later.
When decisions are needed, I take them.
When responsibility is required, I own it.
And when things get difficult, I stay until the system is stable again.
How this shows up in real work
• Fewer meetings, clearer decisions
• Ownership instead of handoffs
• Problems surfaced early, not late
• Systems that don’t rely on me forever
