Proficient in WooCommerce

I fix the parts of WooCommerce that only misbehave after a store goes live — the cron job that fails silently at 3am, the checkout under bot attack, the plugin that has to survive contact with ten thousand different hosting setups. Four years of shipping fixes that actually hold.

About

I fix the parts of WooCommerce that only misbehave after a store goes live — the cron job that fails silently at 3am, the checkout under bot attack, the plugin that has to survive contact with ten thousand different hosting setups.

That's mostly what the last four years have looked like: joining ThemeHigh as a developer on Checkout Field Editor and growing into owning it outright, then moving to Fortunesoft IT Innovations, where I split time between stabilizing Hauptwerk's licensing and security, extending Collegewear's sash builder, and building client sites like Cresta Medical, NexaTherapy, and Livolab from Figma to launch.

Order Archive Manager for WooCommerce is the first thing I've shipped entirely on my own — end to end, including the GitHub Actions release pipeline. Before any of this, a Python/Django internship on a multi-biometric voter fraud detection system is where I actually learned how backends fit together.
