Experience
A WordPress Developer
shipping at production scale.
I’ve spent over a decade as a WordPress Developer, turning complex requirements into platforms that stay fast, secure and maintainable under real traffic. As Lead Software Engineer at GOD TV I lead a distributed team, design custom themes, plugins and workflows, and keep a global media platform stable while content teams ship daily.
I work the full stack — gathering requirements with stakeholders, architecting the solution, writing clean PHP and JavaScript, then owning performance, SEO, security and deployment. My route here ran through SEO and digital marketing, which is why I build for search and conversion from the first line rather than bolting it on at the end. Alongside full-time work I also take on selected projects as a freelance WordPress developer and consultant.
Most recently I’ve been building AI into how engineering and content teams actually work — research, code review, testing and reporting — certified through Google AI and the United Nations University’s Responsible AI programme, so governance and risk are part of the design, not an afterthought.

What a senior WordPress Developer brings to your team.
Six areas I’ve owned end-to-end across media, e-commerce, education and non-profit platforms.
WordPress Engineering
Custom themes, plugins and blocks built to spec. Gutenberg, Elementor Pro and DIVI, plus modernising legacy codebases with Git workflows and proper staging.
Full-Stack Development
Beyond the CMS — PHP and JavaScript back-ends, REST APIs, admin dashboards, custom web applications and Android WebView builds published to the stores.
AI Practice & Automation
Building AI into real engineering and content workflows — research, drafting, code review, test generation, data analysis and reporting — with governance and risk designed in.
Performance & Security
Core Web Vitals tuning, security hardening and malware cleanup, backup and staging environments, and clean staging → production deployment on platforms that can't go down.
Technical SEO & Analytics
Five years as an SEO analyst and manager before engineering, so architecture, crawlability, structured data and analytics are designed in from the start rather than retrofitted.
Team Leadership & Delivery
Leading a distributed team of developers, translating stakeholder requirements into technical plans, and running transparent delivery in ClickUp — sprints, automation, async reporting.
Fifteen years, six organisations.
From SEO analyst to lead engineer — a path that shaped how I build.
