I build web products on WordPress and PHP, and put AI to work inside the development cycle itself.
Custom plugins, integrations and LMS work for WordPress and WooCommerce — plus performance work that runs from the query to the server config. Eleven years in web development, eight of them in WordPress.
Saudi e-invoicing comes in two phases. Phase One needs a PDF invoice carrying a QR code with the seller data, VAT number and totals in TLV encoding — that is my free plugin, published on the WordPress.org repository. Phase Two is the hard one: UBL 2.1 XML, CSR and cryptographic stamp generation, direct integration with the Fatoora and Simulation portals, and PIH chaining that ties every invoice to the hash of the one before it. That second plugin is commercial, and it is the deepest WooCommerce work I have done.
When you fix a wrong answer in a LearnDash quiz, every past score stays wrong — and a naive script over thousands of attempts takes the server down. I built a tool that simulates the new scores first, then regrades in background batches of fifty, staying clear of execution-time and memory limits.
The electronic guidance platform for Sudanese pilgrims: awareness material and guidance courses covering the pilgrimage, built on WordPress with an LMS and a content admin.
From an idea to a stable, maintainable plugin: WordPress APIs, Gutenberg blocks in React, ACF field work, and code that survives peer review.
Connecting WordPress to what surrounds it: ZATCA e-invoicing, payment gateways, LearnDash, Tutor LMS and Moodle, and REST interfaces to outside systems.
AI tools sit inside my workflow: reading unfamiliar codebases, generating and reviewing code, writing tests — so projects land faster without loosening human review. I also build language-model features inside WordPress.
Finding where the slowness actually lives: heavy queries, fighting plugins, or server config. I tune LEMP and caching, and review code for vulnerabilities.
Architecture review before the code is written, code review after it is, and leading development teams — what I have done for years as a tech lead.
Two ready plugins that bring your store in line with ZATCA requirements — one for Phase One (PDF invoice with a QR code, free on WordPress.org with a premium tier) and one for Phase Two (XML, cryptographic stamping and direct reporting to ZATCA). Install and run, no custom development.
I started freelancing on the web in 2013 and have moved between developer and lead roles since: tech lead at One Pharma, senior WordPress developer and lead developer at Ar-themes. The work I enjoy most tends to start with someone saying it cannot be done in WordPress.
Outside client work I founded WooArab and WPAraby to bring WordPress and WooCommerce closer to Arabic-speaking developers, publish open-source tools on GitHub, and write about the problems I hit in production.

Describe the problem in a few lines — what is broken, or what you want built — and I will tell you plainly whether I am the right person for it.
