I am a store owner who codes. I co-run a WooCommerce store doing 2,000+ orders and six figures of monthly traffic, which means I do not get to hide behind a clean staging environment — the code I write runs against real customers, real money and real ad spend every day. When your checkout breaks or your fulfillment eats hours, I know exactly how that feels, because it is my problem too.
That pressure shapes how I work. I care about systems that stay fast, infrastructure that stays cheap, and automation that quietly removes work instead of adding it. When something I build for my own store proves itself, I productize it — that is how WooPlugs started.
Before going independent I spent years on enterprise React and .NET — modernising ERP systems toward CQRS, building typed front-ends, and writing automated test suites for secure banking software. I write code that is meant to be maintained, not just demoed.
