Ahmad K.

Senior full-stack PHP developer specializing in Laravel, WordPress, Shopify, and CI/CD systems. I help teams modernize legacy applications, improve deployment reliability, and scale platforms used in real-world production environments. I have 10+ years of experience supporting startups, agencies, and enterprise teams that need more than task-level development - they need someone who understands architecture, technical trade-offs, and how to ship safely across multiple environments. Where I create impact • Modernizing legacy PHP and Laravel applications into maintainable, testable, CI/CD-driven platforms • Building and optimizing custom WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystems for high-traffic, revenue-critical sites • Developing and integrating Shopify and Shopify Plus solutions, including custom themes, apps, and backend integrations • Designing deployment workflows across Staging / Pre-Production / Production with automated testing and rollback strategies • Supporting cross-functional teams with documentation, knowledge transfer, and long-term maintainability in mind Example: CI/CD + Release Pipeline Upgrade I transformed a legacy Laravel application that relied on manual, error-prone deployments into a fully automated release pipeline using GitHub Actions. I implemented gated testing, multi-environment workflows, zero-downtime deployments, and rollback support, then trained the team to manage releases independently. The result: 80% faster deployments, fewer production incidents, and greater confidence in shipping. Core skill areas • PHP, Laravel, Slim, WordPress, WooCommerce, Custom Plugins • JavaScript, AlpineJS, HTMX, Vue, React, HTML/CSS • Shopify & Shopify Plus (Liquid, integrations, custom features) • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), VPS & server environments • API development and integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Twilio, and analytics tools Clients value my ability to take ownership of complex systems, communicate clearly, and deliver solutions that are stable, performant, and built for the long term. If you're looking for a developer who can contribute at both the engineering and platform level, I'd be glad to connect.
