About Me

Systems engineer with over 12 years of experience in WordPress development, specializing in creating custom plugins, scalable architectures and API integrations. I work with technologies like PHP and MySQL, building robust solutions based on service-oriented architectures and API consumption.

My approach goes beyond traditional WordPress, integrating automation, workflows and artificial intelligence tools. I use assistants like Claude to optimize development processes, accelerate deliveries and improve code quality. I have worked on implementing AI-based solutions within WordPress, as well as developing control and security mechanisms as extensions on the Abilities API (MCP) for managing permissions and capabilities in environments with AI interaction.

Passionate about experimentation, process optimization and building digital products that combine WordPress, automation and AI.
