Expert PHP Developer | Laravel | WordPress | AI Integrations
🏆 Expert Web Developer | 8+ Years of Experience | PHP & Laravel Specialist I've worked almost exclusively with PHP for 8+ years, building backend systems, WordPress sites, Shopify apps, and custom web applications. My goal is to actually understand your product and business before writing a line of code, so what I build fits — not just works. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 ✧ Websites and apps that need real backend logic, not just a plugin patch ✧ Broken or missing API integrations between your site and third-party tools ✧ Complex payment flows — subscriptions, split payments, custom checkout logic ✧ WordPress sites that have outgrown what standard plugins can handle ✧ Slow, unstable, or poorly structured code that needs a rebuild, not a patch ✧ Sites that need AI features but no clear path to add them 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗢𝗻 ✧ Backend Development — PHP, Laravel, custom web applications, and API-driven systems built from the ground up ✧ WordPress — theme development from scratch, theme customization, and custom plugin development (not just installing existing ones) ✧ Shopify & Webflow — app development, custom functionality, and platform-specific integrations ✧ Databases — MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase — schema design, optimization, and administration ✧ Frontend — HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Vue.js, Node.js ✧ API Development & Integration — building REST APIs from scratch, connecting third-party services, and fixing broken integrations ✧ Payment Systems — Stripe, PayPal, and other gateway integrations, including custom or complex payment logic ✧ AI Integration for WordPress — OpenAI/Claude API integration, AI chatbots, AI-powered content or search features, and custom AI-driven functionality built into your site rather than a generic plugin ✧ Automation — connecting systems together with custom PHP/Node backends or tools like Zapier and n8n ✧ Debugging & Error Fixing — tracking down issues in existing codebases other developers have struggled with 𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 PHP • Laravel • WordPress • WooCommerce • Shopify • Webflow • MySQL • MongoDB • Firebase • REST APIs • OpenAI/Claude API • JavaScript • jQuery • Vue.js • Node.js • HTML5 • CSS3 • Bootstrap 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 & 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 ✅ eCommerce & WooCommerce/Shopify Stores ✅ SaaS & Custom Web Applications ✅ Booking & Membership Platforms ✅ Real Estate Websites ✅ Payment-Heavy Platforms (Subscriptions, Marketplaces) ✅ AI-Powered Websites & Tools ✅ Business & Service Websites ...and custom builds tailored to whatever the project needs. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 ✔️ Clean, standards-compliant code — and I adapt to whatever conventions your team already uses ✔️ Fast response time — usually 5-10 minutes during IST working hours ✔️ Backend depth beyond typical WordPress work — real application logic, not just plugin edits ✔️ Comfortable working solo or slotting into an existing dev team ✔️ Reliable, long-term collaboration if you need an ongoing team member, not just a one-off fix If you need someone who can handle backend logic, custom functionality, AI integration, or a full web application — not just surface-level WordPress work — let's talk about your project.
