WordPress & PHP developer,
based in Paris.

I build custom themes from scratch, no page builders. WooCommerce integrations, ACF-driven templates, and SEO written directly into the code.

What I actually do

I write WordPress themes by hand. Custom post types, ACF field groups, WooCommerce flows, and the PHP that holds it together. I care about the parts users never see: escaped output, nonces on every form, images served at the right size, and pages that stay usable with a keyboard.

Before WordPress I designed brand identities, and I still do. That combination means I can take a project from a blank page to a site that ranks and converts, without a handoff in the middle.

What I bring to a team

Custom themes, no page builders

Every template is hand-written PHP. Lighter pages, no plugin sprawl, and code the next developer can actually read.

WooCommerce beyond the defaults

Custom quote-to-order flows, transactional emails, and checkout logic shaped around the business rather than the other way round.

SEO built into the code

Titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, robots directives and JSON-LD structured data, written in PHP. No SEO plugin required.

Performance and accessibility by default

AVIF and WebP, correctly sized image variants, WCAG AA contrast, ARIA landmarks and keyboard navigation.

AI as part of the workflow

I work with AI daily for code review, refactoring and SEO analysis, and I build with the APIs too. It removes the tedious parts of the job. The judgement on what ships stays mine.

Read

I read the existing codebase before I change it, and keep its conventions rather than imposing mine.

Scope

I agree on what the task actually covers, and say once, clearly, when I disagree with a spec.

Build

Small commits, explicit messages, and comments only where the decision is not obvious from the code.

Ship

Tested on real pages, not just locally green. I report what works and what I left out.

Stack

Daily. PHP · WordPress · WooCommerce · ACF · SCSS · JavaScript · MySQL · Git

Structured data. JSON-LD · Schema.org

Also comfortable with. Next.js · React · Supabase · Tailwind · LLM APIs

Outside the CMS I have shipped Servio, a restaurant ordering SaaS with real-time kitchen tickets and mobile payments, and Kairos, a platform that aggregates more than 55 000 EU-funded projects from CORDIS.

I also run a dedicated offer for EU-funded and Horizon Europe projects.

FAQ

I have had the pleasure of working with various clients and partners, delivering exceptional design solutions.

Are you open to a permanent role?

Yes. I am looking for a permanent position as a WordPress / PHP developer, in Paris or remote, and I keep a small freelance activity alongside it.

Do you work with page builders?

I can maintain a site built with one, but I build from scratch. Hand-written themes are lighter, easier to debug and cheaper to own over time.

Can you take over an existing theme?

Yes, and it is often what I enjoy most. I read the code first, keep the existing conventions, and refactor only what the task actually requires.

Do you design as well as develop?

Yes. I designed brand identities before I wrote PHP. On small teams that removes a handoff; on larger ones it means I read a mockup accurately.

How do you use AI in your work?

Daily, for code review, refactoring and SEO analysis, and I build with the APIs too. It removes the tedious parts of the job. The judgement on what ships stays mine.

Where are you based?

Paris, France. Comfortable with remote and hybrid arrangements.
