About

Building WordPress beyond what it was designed for.

Over 15+ years, I've been building WordPress beyond its comfort zone — turning it into a music streaming backend (Musilon), a cryptocurrency exchange dashboard (Versland), a B2B lead generation platform (IRVC), an online gold marketplace with real-time multi-store inventory sync, and dozens of custom WooCommerce stores. I don't just build WordPress sites — I architect systems on top of WordPress.

My focus is on custom plugin development (content ingestion engines, accounting & inventory systems, booking platforms), complex integrations (Elasticsearch, n8n, marketplace APIs, payment gateways), and performance optimization. I've led engineering teams (growing one from 2 to 13 people at RtlTheme), managed QA for a network of 300+ independent developers, and shipped solo for clients across Iran and abroad.

Looking for senior engineering roles where I can build at depth — open to leadership when the project fits. Remote-first, full-time, or contract.

Senior WordPress Developer

AbrNOC AbrNOC · Cloud hosting & infrastructure

Senior developer focused on Elementor widget development, internal SEO tooling, and leading a strategic migration from Elementor to Gutenberg for better performance.

  • Develop custom Elementor widgets tailored to product and marketing requirements.
  • Refactor existing static widgets into dynamic, data-driven components.
  • Build SEO tooling and on-page features supporting the SEO team's content workflows.
  • Leading a side initiative to migrate the company's theme and widget library from Elementor to native Gutenberg blocks — targeting significant performance gains.

Senior WordPress Developer

Imaj Holding Imaj Holding venture · Talajat.net & Hebe.gold (Online gold retail)

Tech lead for two online gold retail brands under Imaj Holding — performance, custom development, infrastructure, and a unified accounting/inventory system spanning both stores and external marketplaces.

  • Performance overhaul of Talajat.net — replaced multiple general-purpose plugins with focused custom builds and cleaned up AI-generated copy-paste code embedded in the theme.
  • Designed and built Hebe.gold from scratch with Elementor plus custom code modules for business-specific features.
  • Built a unified accounting & inventory plugin spanning both stores: FIFO accounting, gram-based valuation (specific to gold), supplier and multi-warehouse management, and real-time cross-site stock sync with accurate reservation handling to prevent overselling.
  • Integrated third-party marketplace sales (Digikala, Snapp Shop, Tapsi) into the inventory system — sales from any channel automatically reduce stock across both sites.
  • Built a custom shop filter plugin handling 1,000+ products with deep meta-field filtering — response time under 50ms.
  • Migrated both sites from shared hosting to a dedicated server, including full server provisioning, configuration, and tuning.

Senior WordPress Developer

Musilon Musilon.com · Music streaming · Contract (~100 hrs/mo)

Senior developer responsible for the technical evolution of a music streaming platform — custom content ingestion, marketing automation, secure file delivery, and infrastructure migration.

  • Built a custom content ingestion plugin that replaced a manual 50–60-field entry process (which capped the team at 3–4 albums/day). Editors paste external URLs and stream folder paths (~30s per row); one click then queues the work, fetches metadata via APIs and page crawling, and auto-generates the full content graph (tracks, albums, artists, categories) as post meta and taxonomies — 100× faster post creation.
  • Set up marketing and retention automation with n8n and Elasticsearch — behavior-triggered SMS and email flows for abandoned cart, inactive user re-engagement, and subscription renewal reminders.
  • Built a custom download protection system that streamed audio through application-controlled endpoints — preventing link extraction, hotlinking, and unauthorized sharing.
  • Reworked significant portions of the theme UI, restructured the subscription/billing flow, and applied site-wide performance optimizations.
  • Migrated the site from shared hosting to a dedicated server with full configuration.

RtlTheme RtlTheme (Rastchin) · Premium WP marketplace · 300+ independent developers

Moved into the main RtlTheme company to lead marketplace QA and developer relations — owning product quality, sales analysis, and market signals to the marketing team across a network of 300+ independent developers.

  • Managed a 6-person QA team reviewing every new product and update from RtlTheme's network of 300+ independent developers before public release.
  • Established and maintained the QA bar — ensuring all third-party submissions met RtlTheme's premium marketplace standard.
  • Tracked post-release sales and quality signals, feeding insights back into the developer community and product pipeline.
  • Partnered with the marketing team — recommending specific products and themes for campaigns based on market trends and sales data.
  • Owned developer relations — onboarding new sellers, workflow coordination, and quality-feedback loops with the independent developer network.

Engineering Manager — Product Adaptation

RtlTheme RtlTheme (Rastchin) · Localization & product enhancement

Led a fast-growing engineering team responsible for translating, RTL-converting, and feature-extending foreign WordPress themes and plugins before publishing them on RtlTheme's marketplace.

  • Grew the team from 2 to 13 engineers over ~2.5 years — owned all hiring, onboarding, and team structure.
  • Owned product selection — researched and analyzed foreign WordPress products, picking high-potential targets for localization and resale.
  • Supervised all technical work — code reviews, architecture decisions, and direct hands-on debugging when engineers got stuck.
  • Ran recurring internal training sessions in PHP and WordPress development to level up the team.
  • Built and maintained the team's technical workflow — translation, RTL conversion, feature additions, QA, and release.

Freelance WordPress Developer

Independent · Custom WP solutions

A 15+ year independent practice running in parallel with full-time roles — custom WordPress builds, plugin development, and Persian/RTL localization for clients across Iran and occasionally abroad.

  • Designed and shipped 100+ websites over 15+ years across diverse business types — content/blog sites, e-commerce stores, and service-based businesses.
  • Three core service areas: custom theme & site design, custom plugin development (co-working space reservation systems, customer loyalty platforms, B2B directories, WooCommerce extensions), and RTL / Persian localization of foreign WordPress products.
  • Long-running engagement with an Iranian-Canadian client — built ~15 English-language service-presentation WordPress sites for the North American market.
  • For the last 2–3 years, highly selective — only projects with real technical challenge or substantial custom development (recent examples: Wincoin loyalty plugin, IRVC company-directory system, co-working space booking engine).
