PHP & WordPress Specialist · Backend Engineer · Python Developer (ML & Automation)
I design and build reliable, maintainable backend systems and custom WordPress plugins — with a strong emphasis on PHP (Laravel & WP), while also applying Python for automation and machine learning when it adds value.
- Primary: PHP (Laravel), WordPress (custom plugins & themes), MySQL
- Secondary / Complementary: Python (Flask, Django, FastAPI), Machine Learning (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch), JavaScript
- Datastores: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQLite
- API & Integrations: RESTful APIs, Webhooks, OAuth, Payment Gateway integrations
- DevOps & Tooling: Docker, Git, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, unit & integration testing
- Cloud & Monitoring: AWS (EC2, S3, RDS), GCP fundamentals, Sentry / NewRelic for monitoring
- Practices: Clean architecture, TDD, code reviews, documentation
- High-availability web applications and backend services using Laravel and PHP.
- Custom WordPress plugins (business logic, shortcodes, admin UX, payment and referral systems).
- Python-powered automation & ML components (data pipelines, classification/regression models, inference endpoints).
- Payment, messaging and analytics integrations for production-grade apps.
- Virallink — AI-powered tweet & thread generator with automated posting (Laravel + Tailwind + custom automation).
- Skybil (EdTech) — Co-founder & backend lead: built learning platform features and integrations.
- Zyront Finance — Founder: built web-first trading/analytics features (product-focused backend design).

I integrate, maintain and automate connections between services — from payments to messaging and analytics.
Common integration types: Payment gateways (Stripe, Paystack, PayPal), SMS & voice (Twilio), Email (SendGrid, Mailgun), OAuth providers (Google, Facebook), Analytics (GA4), Cloud storage & compute (AWS/GCP), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), error monitoring (Sentry).
- Problem-first: I start by mapping business needs to technical outcomes.
- Maintainable code: Modular architecture, thorough tests, clear docs.
- Iterative delivery: Small, reviewable increments — continuous feedback & improvement.
- DevOps-aware: I containerize, automate CI/CD, and ensure observability.
- Full-time / contract backend or WordPress plugin roles.
- Projects that combine PHP backend work with smart Python automation or ML.
- Collaborations on open-source tools for WordPress, PHP, or ML deployment.
