Senior developer across ThemeGrill’s WordPress products, focused on new features, stability, performance and security. My current work spans User Registration & Membership, Masteriyo LMS, Magazine Blocks and BlockArt
Masteriyo LMS: led a security review of the REST API, fixed large courses that were timing out, and built a “View as Student” preview, an Abilities API layer for AI agents and a rebuilt course-migration engine
User Registration & Membership: resolved critical PayPal, Stripe and Authorize.Net subscription issues and refactored the legacy code behind them; extended WooCommerce content restriction and made the forms accessible
Magazine Blocks and BlockArt: moved Magazine Blocks to Block API v3, shipped security hardening and regular releases, and kept both plugins ready for PHP 8.5 and WordPress 7.1
Engineering practice: PHPUnit and Playwright test suites, regression tests for payment and security fixes, and automated releases with GitHub Actions

Moved the block set to Block API v3, wrote developer documentation and resolved the WordPress.org review findings for Spectra Blocks
