Technical Lead | Node.js | Docker | PHP | Laravel | WordPress | AI/LLM

I'm a Senior Backend Engineer with 15 years of experience building scalable, secure web applications in PHP, Laravel, Node.js, and WordPress — and I now build AI/LLM and agentic features into production systems, not just use AI to write code faster. My focus is backend architecture, clean code, and long-term maintainability. I work best with clients who need reliable systems, custom plugins, complex integrations, or help stabilizing and upgrading a platform that has outgrown its original build. ⚡ AI in my work, two ways: • I build AI features — LLM integrations, chatbots, AI agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, including multi-model setups. • I use AI-assisted tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT) to move faster without compromising quality or maintainability. Here are some of the key ways I can help your project: • Custom WordPress themes (with or without Roots Bedrock & Sage) and custom plugins • Backend development in PHP, Node.js, and Laravel with clean OOP and MVC architecture • Backend architecture & APIs using Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and Python (Django, FastAPI) • REST and GraphQL API design and integration for scalable systems • AI/LLM feature development — chatbots, LLM integrations, MCP tools, and agentic automation • Microservices with Docker, Redis, and background job queues (BullMQ) • Extending and customizing WooCommerce — checkout logic, payments, and integrations • Building Vue.js admin interfaces for WordPress plugins and internal tools • Integrating third-party services and payment gateways • Refactoring, upgrading, and stabilizing legacy WordPress and PHP codebases • Performance optimization, security hardening, and conflict resolution • Automating workflows and backend processes with Make and n8n • CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and production migrations with minimal downtime I've worked with clients across the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada on both short-term tasks and long-term projects, and I communicate clearly and consistently throughout. If you need a senior backend engineer who delivers stable, maintainable solutions and keeps you in the loop, let's talk.
