About Me

170+ Projects Delivered.
Zero Missed Deadlines.

Freelance full stack development is all I've done since 2012. It started as project work alongside a day job, and fairly quickly became the main thing. These days the work sits mostly in four areas — PHP, WordPress, Laravel and Twilio — with a growing fifth: AI integration using OpenAI and Claude API wired into the systems businesses already run.

The 170+ projects I've completed cover a lot of ground. WooCommerce shops processing six-figure annual revenues without breaking. Laravel APIs built for healthcare platforms handling tens of thousands of patient records. Twilio Flex contact centres where 50+ agents handle concurrent inbound and outbound calls. Deadlines matter to me — I haven't missed one yet.

The clients who keep coming back are mostly businesses and agencies that have been let down before — developers who went quiet, missed scope, or handed over a mess. I'm straightforward about what I can build, I stick to what's agreed, and I don't disappear.

Why clients come back
💬
Daily written updates, no chasing
You know what was built, what's next and if anything needs your input — every single working day.
4–6 hours of working day overlap
IST covers US mornings and UK afternoons — enough for a standup, a review call and a same-day follow-up.
💰
Billed for development only
No account manager, no internal meetings on your invoice, no agency markup. You pay for the work itself.
📋
Code any developer can inherit
PSR standards, inline docs, clean architecture. Another developer can read, extend and deploy it on day one.
Tested before it reaches you
Every build is reviewed, tested against edge cases and checked for security vulnerabilities before a staging link lands in your inbox.
🛠
30 days support, included as standard
The first month after launch is when issues surface. It's covered — no separate support contract required.

Hand-coded themes and custom plugins — nothing from a page builder, nothing that breaks on a routine update. WooCommerce shops built to process orders at volume, not just look good in a demo.

What I Build

PHP · WordPress · Twilio
& AI Integration

Five core specialisations. Before anything gets built, you have a written scope, a fixed price and a timeline. No ambiguity about what you're buying.

WordPress Development
Been building on WordPress since version 3.0. Every theme is hand-coded, every plugin written from scratch — so you always know exactly what's running on your site and why.

Laravel Development
When a project needs a real backend — multi-tenant SaaS, complex business logic, high-throughput APIs — Laravel is the right tool. I've shipped Laravel applications still running cleanly in production after 5+ years.
REST APIs with Sanctum / Passport auth
Queues, jobs, Redis caching & events

PHP Development
Good PHP work is genuinely hard to find. New builds on PHP 8, legacy codebases that need modernising, Magento extensions — I've done all of it, and the code still runs cleanly years later.

Magento 2 custom modules & extensions

Twilio & API Integration
I've shipped Twilio in production for US healthcare companies, SaaS call centres and WhatsApp automation platforms. If your project involves communication APIs, I've almost certainly built something similar.

Twilio Flex with custom TaskRouter & agent UI

Premium Wine eCommerce Store

A UK wine retailer needed their retail shop, wine bar bookings and B2B wholesale portal all in one place. Built on WordPress and WooCommerce with a custom trade module — still their primary sales platform today.

Healthcare Management Platform

A US healthcare company came to me with a requirements document that covered multiple user roles, referral workflows, hospital callbacks and group scheduling. Built in Laravel with a React front-end. Delivered on schedule.

Twilio · USA
Twilio Call Centre & Tracker

One of my longer Twilio engagements. A US SaaS company needed inbound routing, an outbound dialler and real-time agent stats in a single interface. I built the whole thing on Twilio Flex, wrote a custom agent UI and wired up the reporting layer. Two years on, it's still live.

PHP & WordPress · USA
Automotive Marketplace Portal

The brief had three systems that needed to talk to each other — single sign-on across platforms, a coupon engine wired into the vehicle inventory, and auto-generated PDFs for each listing. WordPress and PHP under the hood, but the custom code layer is substantial enough that the CMS is almost incidental.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything international clients typically want to know before getting in touch.

Are you a full stack developer? +
Yes — I work across the full stack. On the back-end: PHP, Laravel, Node.js, MySQL, REST APIs. On the front-end: React, Vue, Angular, HTML and CSS. I've been a freelance full stack developer for hire since 2012, so most of my projects involve both sides of the stack rather than just one.
Are you available for full-time remote work for USA/UK clients? +
Yes — long-term remote work is most of what I do. IST puts me online during US mornings and UK afternoons, so day-to-day communication is straightforward. I've run multi-year engagements with clients in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and UAE without it ever being a problem.
What is your hourly rate for PHP, WordPress and Laravel? +
Depends on the stack. PHP and WordPress work starts at $25/hr, Laravel at $35/hr, Twilio and full-stack at $40–45/hr, and AI Integration at $55/hr. If you'd prefer a fixed price, send me the scope and I'll put together a specific number — no charge for the quote.
What technologies do you specialise in? +
My four core specialisations are PHP, WordPress, Laravel and Twilio. I also work with WooCommerce, React JS, Node.js, Vue.js, Angular, CodeIgniter, Magento, Python, Stripe, PayPal, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS and Docker.
Do you work on Upwork or direct contracts? +
Both. I have an active Upwork profile with a 5-star rating and years of verified history. I also work directly with clients through this website — usually at better rates. Direct contracts use milestone-based payments via PayPal, Stripe or bank transfer.
Do you take on small one-time projects or only long-term contracts? +
Both. Bug fixes, single integrations, Twilio setups, full product builds — the size of the job doesn't change how I approach it. No minimum. Tell me what you need and I'll come back with a clear price.
How do you handle communication across time zones? +
Slack, Zoom, Google Meet and email — whichever works for you. I send daily updates and can take morning calls for US clients or afternoon calls for UK clients. Every long-term project I've run across different time zones has gone smoothly. Communication is something I take seriously.
Can you add AI to my existing WordPress or Twilio system? +
Yes — that's specifically what I do. Rather than rebuilding your platform from scratch, I wire OpenAI (GPT-4o) or Claude API directly into the systems you already run. Examples: an AI chatbot inside an existing WooCommerce store, a Twilio IVR that understands natural language instead of menu presses, or a Laravel pipeline that auto-processes documents. Typical projects cost $2,500–$6,000 fixed price. Book a free call and I'll tell you exactly what's involved for your specific setup.
How quickly can you start a new project? +
Usually within 24–48 hours of agreeing on scope. Messages get a same-day reply — often faster. If you'd rather talk it through first, the call booking link at the top of the page takes about 30 seconds.
