Rafael E.

Senior WordPress Developer | Custom Themes & Performance

I’m a Senior Web Developer with 13+ years of experience building high-performance, custom websites — with a strong focus on WordPress and scalable frontend architecture. I specialize in turning complex designs into fast, clean, and maintainable builds. Whether it’s a fully custom theme, a modular block system, or performance optimization, I focus on delivering solutions that are easy to scale and built to last. Over the years, I’ve worked with agencies and direct clients worldwide, often leading frontend development, reviewing code, and helping teams ship better, more reliable products. I’m comfortable owning projects end-to-end — from architecture decisions to final delivery. What I bring: • Custom WordPress development (themes, blocks, ACF) • Scalable and reusable frontend architecture • Performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, clean code) • Pixel-perfect implementation from design • Strong communication and reliable delivery I write clean, structured code and build with long-term maintainability in mind — not quick fixes. If you’re looking for someone who can take your project seriously and deliver high-quality work without constant back-and-forth, let’s talk.
