(at Elegant Themes)
Great products.
Amazing people.
I've had the privilege of working with product companies, agencies and clients around the world.
Support. Develop. Improve.
I work at the intersection of customer support and web development, helping people solve technical problems and build better online experiences.
Technical Support Engineering
Troubleshoot complex issues, reproduce bugs, analyze logs, handle escalations, and work closely with engineering teams.
Technical Support Engineering
I help customers and product teams move from a vague problem report to a clear, reproducible issue and practical resolution. My support process includes gathering context, reproducing bugs, reviewing logs and browser/network output, isolating root causes, documenting findings, and escalating to engineering with useful technical detail.
I also focus heavily on communication: translating technical findings into clear next steps for non-technical users, keeping ownership of the issue, and looking for patterns that can improve documentation, workflows, or the product itself.
WordPress & WooCommerce
Theme and plugin support, custom development, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and more.
WordPress & WooCommerce
I work across WordPress core, themes, plugins, WooCommerce, ACF, Elementor, Divi, hosting environments, and custom PHP/JavaScript. This includes troubleshooting compatibility issues, extending existing functionality, creating custom theme features, resolving performance problems, and debugging complex frontend or backend behavior.
For WooCommerce, I regularly work with checkout, payment gateways, catalog visibility, shipping, orders, custom functionality, store performance, and integrations. My goal is not just to fix the immediate issue, but to understand why it happened and reduce the chance of it returning.
Shopify Development
Store setup, Liquid customization, app integration, troubleshooting, and conversion-focused improvements.
Shopify Development
I support and build Shopify stores from setup through ongoing optimization. My work includes Liquid theme customization, product and collection organization, app integrations, UI troubleshooting, cart and checkout-related investigations, performance improvements, and conversion-focused layout changes.
When third-party apps or integrations are involved, I trace the issue across the theme, app behavior, storefront scripts, and external services so the actual source of the problem is identified instead of applying a temporary visual fix.
Web Development
PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, REST APIs, integrations, and custom functionality for modern web solutions.
Web Development
I build and troubleshoot modern web experiences using PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, REST APIs, JSON, SQL basics, and Git-based workflows. I am comfortable taking a feature from a design or business requirement through implementation, debugging, testing, and deployment.
My development work is closely connected to support: I care about maintainable code, useful error handling, responsive behavior, performance, accessibility, and making future troubleshooting easier for both developers and support teams.
Selected Projects
