Varun D.

If you need someone who builds it right the first time and can explain what they built, you are in the right place. I am Varun, a WordPress and AI developer with 10+ years shipping production plugins, themes, and custom platforms used across hundreds of thousands of sites. I have published 100+ WordPress plugins and themes across WooCommerce, BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, LearnDash, and multisite, and I build and run my own community and LMS products in production today. Top Rated Plus, with over $1.4M earned on Upwork. What I ship most right now is AI infrastructure: MCP servers and production AI agents that give tools like Claude and ChatGPT real, controlled access to your platform. I have built and published public MCP servers for WordPress malware cleanup, coding-standards enforcement, BuddyPress, Basecamp, Zoho Desk, and more, with real usage and GitHub stars behind them. This is current, daily work, not a side project. Proof I can point to: I build and run my own product line, so you are hiring someone who ships and maintains software at scale, not just bills hours. BuddyX and Reign (two of the most-installed community themes), BuddyNext (my own self-hosted community engine, with a 265-endpoint REST API), Jetonomy (a custom-database forum built to stay fast at scale), and Learnomy (my own LMS, running as a headless Astro SaaS at learnomy.app), plus Eventonomy, Listora, WP Career Board, WP Sell Services, MediaVerse, and WB Gamification. Every one is a live proof of concept for the work I would do for you. What I do: AI Agents and MCP Servers. Custom Model Context Protocol servers (STDIO and HTTP), agents built on the Claude Agent SDK and OpenAI APIs, custom Claude skills, and multi-step automation workflows. Tool schemas the model calls correctly on the first try, auth that respects your existing identity provider, observability and cost controls from day one. AI Integration for WordPress. AI features inside the block editor that respect capabilities, roles, and nonces. API keys never exposed to the browser, multisite-aware, WP-CLI for batch operations, WPCS and PHPStan compliant. WordPress and WooCommerce. Custom plugins from scratch, WooCommerce extensions, subscription and marketplace systems, REST API endpoints, and rescuing legacy or conflicting codebases. Clean PHP 8.x, proper hooks and filters, full documentation. Community and LMS. BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, and PeepSo development, plus LearnDash, TutorLMS, and LifterLMS customization, membership sites, and full learning-platform builds. Headless, Astro, and Laravel. Headless WordPress with an Astro frontend that loads in under a second and passes Core Web Vitals from day one, while editors keep the WordPress they know. Laravel for SaaS backends, multi-tenant systems, Stripe billing, and API layers when WordPress is not the right fit. REST API and Integrations. Custom endpoints, webhooks, OAuth flows, and connecting WordPress to external platforms cleanly. How I work: I respond fast, communicate clearly the whole way through, and hand off documented code your team can own after the project ends. No black box, no developer who disappears. Top Rated Plus on Upwork. If you want AI connected to your platform in a way that actually does things, or serious WordPress architecture built to last, let us talk.
