Profile
Full-stack WordPress developer and AI automation engineer with 4+ years of shipping production work. I have delivered 35 live client websites for businesses in the UK, US, EU and Pakistan on WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify, built 81+ production n8n automations, and led a 6-language Joomla-to-WordPress migration for Chef Academy of London. I build custom plugins instead of page-builder workarounds, and I measure automations by the hours they give back.
