WordPress engineering from Kathmandu to the world
WordPress built like real infrastructure.
I'm Raj Shah, a senior WordPress developer and team lead. If your site is live but the business still hurts, I rebuild the architecture around the outcome you actually need. Remote with teams in the US, UK, and Australia.

Devs on the team I lead
I have shipped 100+ WordPress projects. Volume is context. What clients hire me for is simpler: architecture that removes the business pain.
How I help
What you can hire me for
Custom themes, plugins, performance, integrations, and technical leadership. Scoped to your problem, not a shopping cart of services.
Custom Theme Architecture
Themes built for your content model and traffic, not a generic template. Clean templates, editor friendly fields, and a performance budget you can keep.
Custom Plugin Engineering
Sync tools, import pipelines, AI helpers, auth flows. Plugins that solve an actual business job instead of adding another settings screen.
Performance and Core Web Vitals
Script control, caching strategy, and third party cleanup. I have taken heavy university sites from multi second loads down to something users will wait for.
API and Complex Integrations
HubSpot, TrustArc, Algolia, Intercom, payments, live data. Wired so your ops team can work and mobile forms still submit.
WooCommerce and Product Sync
Catalog sync from remote databases, search that finds the right SKU, and checkout that does not fall over when orders spike.
Technical Leadership
I lead developers, run reviews, and keep estimates honest. Useful if you need senior direction without losing code quality.
