GoHighLevel · CRM · Funnels · Forms · Automations

Analytics Integration & Debugging

Installing a tracking script is only the first step. I implement and troubleshoot website analytics, then verify events through browser and network inspection to identify duplicate, missing or unreliable data.

GA4 · Google Analytics · Tag Management · Event Tracking

Why Work With Me

More than development. Complete technical ownership.

Many developers can assemble a website. I combine custom development, eCommerce experience, technical debugging and infrastructure knowledge to build solutions that work beyond the visible interface.

Custom Where It Matters

I avoid unnecessary plugin dependency. When existing tools create limitations or overhead, I build focused solutions using custom PHP, WordPress hooks, templates, Gutenberg, ACF, APIs or Liquid.

PHP · ACF · Gutenberg · Liquid

Root-Cause Debugging

I investigate logs, requests, integrations and code interactions to identify the real source of a problem—not simply hide its visible symptoms.

Logs · APIs · Builds · Browser Tools

Complete Ownership

I handle the journey from requirements and technical planning through development, integration, testing and deployment preparation.

Plan · Build · Test · Launch

WordPress Engineering

My WordPress work extends beyond page builders into custom themes, templates, post types, taxonomies, hooks, plugins and structured admin systems.

Themes · Plugins · CPTs · Hooks

eCommerce Understanding

I develop complete shopping experiences involving products, variations, subscriptions, personalization, payments, carts and checkout behavior.

WooCommerce · Shopify · Subscriptions

Platform-Flexible

I select the architecture according to the project—not personal preference—whether that means WordPress, Shopify, Next.js or headless commerce.

WordPress · Shopify · Next.js · Headless

Beyond the Frontend

My experience extends into hosting, DNS, Cloudflare, GoHighLevel and analytics systems. I integrate and debug GA4, event tracking, conversion flows and third-party tools—not only the visible website interface.

GA4 · GoHighLevel · Cloudflare · DNS

Verified Delivery

Work is validated through responsive testing, browser inspection, linting, type checking, production builds and complete user-flow testing.

Responsive · Lint · Build · QA
