Full-Stack Developer PHP/JS | Linux Servers, Performance & Tech SEO

Web developer since 2010. I build and fix web applications end to end: backend logic, frontend behavior, and the Linux server they run on. The result is a site that’s fast, stable, and indexable, on any CMS or fully custom. What I do: – Backend: custom PHP, MySQL, APIs and integrations, data-heavy admin dashboards, CRM/webhook connections, migrations, email deliverability (SMTP/SPF/DKIM/DMARC). – Servers & DevOps: full Linux server setup from scratch on any distro (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux/Rocky, CentOS). This covers Nginx/Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL/MariaDB, SSL, firewall and SSH hardening, backups, and monitoring. I also tune slow servers: PHP and database optimization, Redis/object caching, and fixing high load, memory leaks, and downtime. Plus hosting migrations with zero data loss, DNS, and CDN (Cloudflare). – Design & Frontend: UI design in Figma (backed by 5 years as a print graphic designer early in my career), modern JavaScript, React, complex interactive pages and animations (GSAP), responsive layouts, and debugging what breaks across browsers and devices. – CMS-agnostic: WordPress, Drupal, headless, or no CMS at all. I work with what you have or build what you need. – Technical SEO: site architecture, sitemaps and indexing, structured data (JSON-LD), Core Web Vitals, caching and CDN, crawl and Search Console issues. – QuickBooks integration: importing and exporting website data with QuickBooks. Recent work: – Built a custom sales-analytics dashboard (PHP, Drupal Commerce) for a wholesale e-commerce store with 3,000+ products, with caching and business-rule filtering. – Developed an interactive animated report page and a regional site for a SaaS company. – Fixed indexing problems for a law firm and implemented LegalService/FAQ structured data and local landing pages. How I work: I take ownership from diagnosis to deployment, explain what I changed in plain language, and reply fast. US-based (EST), 8 AM–6 PM. Send me your URL and the problem, and I’ll tell you what I’d look at first.
