Saad T.
Ex-Automattic WooCommerce Core Engineer | Plugins & Checkout
I help businesses build and improve WooCommerce and WordPress sites, develop custom plugins and features, and solve hard-to-diagnose technical issues. I previously worked at Automattic on the WooCommerce Core team, including Cart and Checkout. I have over 10 years of web development experience and I’m comfortable working in unfamiliar codebases, understanding how things fit together, and making changes carefully. WooCommerce and WordPress: - Custom plugins, features, and extensions to existing workflows - WooCommerce setup, integrations, and launch readiness - Checkout and payment issues, plugin conflicts, and booking workflows - Gutenberg blocks and React/TypeScript features - Performance improvements and refactoring in established sites Web application debugging and stabilization: - Investigating hard-to-find bugs in existing applications - Node.js backend, API integration, proxy, and sandbox issues - Playwright regression tests and unreliable end-to-end test suites My work includes: - Automattic: checkout state architecture, payment-gateway compatibility warnings, and a Puppeteer-to-Playwright migration for WooCommerce. - Shipper: debugging Node.js backend, sandbox, and proxy issues in an AI app-builder platform, and handling malformed project edits. - Nomadic: a custom WooCommerce booking workflow and improvements to an existing site, from the initial audit through launch readiness. I start by understanding your goal and the existing system. Then we agree on the scope, implement the changes, and verify the affected workflows. You get clear updates and a handover explaining what changed and how it was checked. Whether you need a new feature, help improving an existing store, or someone to investigate a difficult issue, send me a message and tell me what you’re working on.
