Full-Stack Developer · Founder · Open-Source Contributor
I build web applications and platforms for businesses that can't afford downtime, data loss, or technical debt. I work across the full stack from hand-written HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/MySQL applications to WordPress/WooCommerce at enterprise scale, and I pick the right tool for the job, not the familiar one.
Currently: Technical Associate @ 234 Brands · Founder @ TechAid Connect
A full-stack web application built from scratch in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL. Connects nonprofits with vetted tech professionals and volunteers. Built end-to-end: system architecture, dual user-role design (nonprofits and volunteers), project matching, and product roadmap.
As Technical Associate, led the end-to-end overhaul of KCLAN.co, a live WooCommerce store: new theme architecture, custom UX features built from scratch, and a full production database migration.
- Migrated 8,456+ products, 5,813+ orders, and 4,644+ customers with zero data loss
- Built Python automation (CSV/Pandas) to handle data volumes and encoding edge cases that crashed every standard import tool
- Engineered custom PHP features: a Daily Deals rotation engine, sticky Add-to-Cart bar, and an auto-discount attribute system using
save_posthooks — zero ongoing manual curation required - Diagnosed and resolved a multi-layered live malware infection: 49 malicious files removed, 7 attack vectors closed, a full C2 agent neutralised, server hardened across filesystem,
.htaccess,wp-config.php, and database layers
Built and maintained a web platform for a publishing company based in Massachusetts, USA. One of 7 freelance engagements (2022–2025) spanning WordPress and custom PHP - $5,000+ earned, every project rated 5 stars.
An enterprise-grade asynchronous WordPress reset tool for developers. Built with AJAX chunked processing to defeat server timeouts, Sudo-Mode AppSec, zero-footprint execution, and multi-tenant database safeguards.
A fault-tolerant PHP data pipeline that mirrors data from a WordPress/Webflow CMS to a dedicated SQL database. Built with a "Failure-First" mentality.
- Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) captures failed syncs - zero data loss on interruption
- Idempotency via
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE- safe to re-run at any point - Self-Healing Recovery Worker re-processes queued items once the system recovers
- Currency stored as integers in transit to eliminate floating-point rounding errors
- Full PDO Prepared Statements throughout
- Core: PHP, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, SQL / MySQL
- CMS & Ecosystems: WordPress (Advanced Plugin & Theme Dev), Webflow
- Architecture: Asynchronous Processing (AJAX), REST APIs, Database Optimisation, Application Security (AppSec)
- Environment: Windows, Linux, Git Version Control
My reputation is simple: reliable execution, clear thinking, and systems that last. I don't just ship features; I reduce friction and future risk. I believe that building the right thing matters much more than building fast.
