What I'm doing now

A snapshot of what's on my mind, updated periodically. Last updated May 2025

Shipped: Portfolio v2 is live — Laravel 13, Tailwind v4, pgvector RAG pipeline, and a full admin panel. Building in public.

At work: Leading a team of 6 at Codexpert. Shipped EasyCommerce FakerPress v2.1.0 — 14 data generators, 131 Playwright E2E tests, WP-CLI integration. Now scoping the next major EasyCommerce release.

AI integration: Adding AI-powered features to WooCommerce extensions — smart product descriptions, order insights, automated tagging. Claude API + streaming responses inside WP admin.

Open source: Maintaining 5 plugins on WordPress.org. Working on elementor-mcp — an MCP server that lets Claude edit Elementor pages via natural language.

Reading: Staff Engineer by Will Larson. Taking Go more seriously — building small CLIs and studying the standard library.

Joined weDevs as a Software Engineer, working on **Dokan** — the WooCommerce multi-vendor marketplace plugin used by 50,000+ stores. First month has been steep: learning the codebase, reviewing PRs, and shipping small fixes while building context.
