Next.js / React / Headless WordPress

I build high-performance websites with Next.js and WordPress — separately, or together as a headless pair. Over 17+ years as a front-end developer, the last 3+ focused on React and Next.js (App Router, Server Components), I've built SEO-optimized platforms for U.S. companies: senior care directories serving tens of thousands of programmatically generated pages, a VA benefits platform with Salesforce and Stripe integrations, and full WordPress-to-Next.js migrations where the marketing team keeps editing in WordPress while the public site runs on React. On the WordPress side I go well beyond theme work. I develop and maintain production plugins in PHP 8.2+ — CRM and API integrations, security hardening, and the cache-revalidation bridge that keeps a headless Next.js front end in sync with the CMS — built to WordPress Coding Standards with PHPStan level 8, PHPUnit and CI/CD. What I bring: ✔ Next.js & React — App Router, Server Components, ISR and caching strategy, domain-driven architecture ✔ Headless WordPress — WPGraphQL and REST, Elementor rendering, on-demand revalidation ✔ SEO & Core Web Vitals — structured data, dynamic metadata, LCP/CLS optimization (96 Lighthouse desktop on a recent build) ✔ API integrations — Salesforce, Stripe, HubSpot, Brevo, custom REST APIs ✔ Testing & quality — TypeScript, Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress E2E, CI pipelines ✔ 100% remote, Scrum teams, leading front-end initiatives I write clean, maintainable code and deliver consistently. Tell me what you're building and I'll let you know honestly whether I'm the right fit.
