About Me

I am a results-driven Fullstack Web Engineer with 5+ years of experience engineering, scaling, and technically optimizing high-load platforms, with a deep architectural specialization in WordPress. My expertise lies at the sharp intersection of modern frontend ecosystems (React, Next.js) and enterprise-grade WordPress engineering - ranging from custom PHP 8+ architectures and secure plugin development to high-performance Headless CMS configurations and deep performance engineering.

My core competitive edge is a sophisticated, AI-first engineering philosophy. Rather than treating AI as a superficial coding assistant, I systematically integrate next-generation systems - including Claude Code, Cursor, and Google Antigravity - directly into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), following a Spec-Driven Development (SDD) methodology: I define the technical specification first, then have AI implement and verify against it rather than improvise. I heavily leverage AI to automate complex development workflows and conduct deep technical research. By blending my practical architectural experience with AI-augmented development, I fast-track complex refactoring, automate regression checks, and drastically compress Time-to-Market - all while enforcing strict code quality, security, and architectural integrity.

Beyond core development, I actively apply this AI-first framework to continuous learning and knowledge management. I utilize advanced tools like Gemini Notebook for synthesizing complex technical documentation and accelerating research. To anchor this knowledge, I build my own custom educational and utility applications. This continuous loop of automated research, rapid prototyping, and self-directed application development allows me to master new technologies at an unprecedented pace and consistently bring cutting-edge solutions to the teams I work with.

AI Workflow

Not vibe coding: every feature travels a strict path from written specification to compiler pass and test verification - a methodology the industry calls Spec-Driven Development (SDD). I execute routine, architectural, and optimization tasks faster and more reliably by amplifying my expertise with specialized AI tools like Claude Code and Google Antigravity.

Spec Engineering - Step 1 of 2

Requirements & Context Auditing

Step Breakdown

Sourcing & Discovery

Gathering raw user requirements and conducting a low-level audit of the existing codebase, dependencies, and API endpoints before formulating instructions.

Preventing Hallucinations

Explicitly profiling constraints and boundary conditions. A lack of human architectural guidance on this step is the primary cause of AI logic errors.
