Senior PHP Developer | WordPress, Drupal, APIs & Python Automation

Is your website slow, unstable, outdated, or becoming difficult to maintain? I help businesses repair, modernize, and manage production websites built with PHP, WordPress, Drupal, MySQL, and custom APIs. With 25+ years of experience, I am particularly strong in complex integrations, legacy systems, performance problems, automation, and urgent troubleshooting. I help businesses rescue, maintain and modernize established PHP, Drupal, WordPress and ecommerce systems. My work includes production troubleshooting, legacy-code maintenance, API integrations, data automation, performance improvements, migrations and Linux server support. With more than 20 years of hands-on PHP and LAMP experience, I am comfortable entering complex existing codebases, understanding how they work and improving them without placing the live business at unnecessary risk. I can help with: • Custom PHP development and object-oriented programming • Drupal development, upgrades and ongoing maintenance • WordPress and WooCommerce troubleshooting • Custom plugins, themes and backend functionality • REST APIs and third-party integrations • Python scripting for automation, data processing and web tasks • MySQL and MariaDB design, queries and performance optimization • Cron jobs, scheduled processes and data feeds • JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, HTML and CSS • Web scraping and structured-data processing • Linux, Apache, Nginx and PHP-FPM environments • Hosting migrations, DNS, SSL/TLS and Cloudflare • Ecommerce integrations and catalogue automation • Legacy PHP applications, including OpenCart, osCommerce and Smarty My recent work includes production Drupal 11 systems, custom PHP platforms, ecommerce and affiliate websites, API-driven data workflows, server migrations and high-traffic eclipse-information platforms. One live eclipse application served more than six million requests during peak periods. When working on an established system, I begin by understanding the existing architecture, business-critical workflows and recovery options. I communicate findings clearly, test changes carefully and document what has been modified. I am based in Portugal and work comfortably with clients in the UK, Europe and North America. I am available for one-time technical problems, migrations, ongoing maintenance and long-term development support. Send me the website, error or requirement, and I will explain the safest practical next step.
