Every touchpoint your product hits
-
Infrastructure
Cloud servers, CDN, edge runtime, observability, cost ops. Cloudways, AWS, Cloudflare, custom deployments.
-
Web engineering
WordPress and BuddyPress at the core. Laravel and Astro when the work fits. Headless when it earns it.
-
Growth + SEO
Technical SEO, content systems, schema, Core Web Vitals, GSC + GA4. Numbers that move, not vanity metrics.
-
Automation
Marketing automation, sales ops, content pipelines, ticket triage. Glue code between everything you already pay for.
-
AI in the loop
Custom Claude and OpenAI workflows. RAG, agents, codegen, support deflection. AI as a teammate, not a demo.
