I'm a WordPress and WooCommerce developer with 15+ years of experience building custom e-commerce solutions and plugins. I specialize in PHP development, following WordPress coding standards to deliver clean, maintainable code. Currently, I'm exploring AI and e-commerce by building multi-agent systems and SaaS products that integrate technologies like Google Gemini API with WordPress platforms, approaching every project with a commitment to performance, security, and exceptional user experience.
Proving User Experience ROI as a WordPress developer
Ten data points on the business value of user experience, from the 1:100 rule and page speed to Hick’s law and design maturity, written from a developer’s point of view.
A pragmatic agentic AI workflow for WordPress
How to move past vibe coding to a spec-driven agentic AI workflow for production WordPress: persistent specifications, guardrails against silent failures, and automated tests, using tools like CodeSpeak and the Claude API.

Why your inference architecture matters more than the LLM
Why AI performance problems usually trace back to inference architecture, not the model: retrieval quality, context compression, compute routing, and speculative decoding, with fine-tuning often a distraction.
How I write robust code with Claude Code
A practical workflow for Claude Code: use Plan Mode before it touches your code, keep a CLAUDE.md skill file so fixes stick, and keep the context lean. The goal is production-ready WordPress, not AI-generated technical debt.
WooCommerce AI workflows that go beyond static reports
The WooCommerce integration for Claude adds 18 prebuilt AI workflows that behave like a senior analyst inside your store, from revenue triage to inventory risk reviews. They run as slash commands over live data, not static charts.
CSS discounted price calculation without bloated JavaScript
You don’t need a JavaScript bundle to calculate a discount. With the upgraded attr(), mod(), and round() CSS functions, you can do the math in the style engine, cut latency, and ship a lighter shop.
The ShadowRealm API: total JavaScript isolation on one thread
The ShadowRealm API is a TC39 proposal for running JavaScript in a fully isolated environment on the same thread. For WordPress and WooCommerce work, it means third-party scripts can no longer pollute the global scope or break core functionality.
Hybrid search and re-ranking for more accurate RAG
Semantic search alone misses exact technical terms. Combining BM25 with dense vectors, then re-ranking the top results with a cross-encoder, is what made our production RAG accurate. RAGAS metrics show the difference.
