Long-term Retainer Engagement
A seasoned hand for
mission-critical sites.
With roots in IT systems engineering dating back to the early 2000s, I bring a deeply technical, infrastructural approach to WordPress that standard web designers cannot match. I’ve rescued hacked enterprise portals, repaired corrupted SQL databases, and aggressively scaled high-traffic multi-million pageview installations.
I operate out of Quito, Ecuador (originally from Venezuela), meaning my schedule runs on the EST/CDT U.S. timezone. This guarantees zero overnight communication lag, real-time Slack integration, and prompt emergency response for North American teams.
