Building scalable digital products since 2011. Specialized in WordPress development with a focus on LearnDash LMS, WooCommerce, and custom Laravel applications for startups and enterprise clients.
About
I'm Manuel, a senior full-stack developer based in Cuernavaca, México with over 15 years of experience delivering complex WordPress and PHP products for international clients.
My core niche is LearnDash and e-learning architecture — from custom student dashboards and WooCommerce enrollment automations to full Laravel reporting systems that give course administrators real visibility into their data.
I combine deep technical expertise with a business-first mindset: every line of code I write is designed to move metrics that matter — conversion, retention, and performance.
Specialization
Beyond drag-and-drop. I build enterprise-grade WordPress solutions by extending Elementor’s core. From custom widget development to advanced API integrations, I transform standard builders into high-performance business tools.
Custom plugins, student dashboards, course templates, and enrollment automations. I solve the pain points most developers can't — logged-in caching, quiz customization, and scalable group management.
Complex third-party integrations, custom checkout flows, subscription management with Stripe, and high-traffic stability. Built for e-commerce platforms with million-dollar valuations.
Proven 40% Core Web Vitals improvements on LMS-heavy platforms. Database query optimization, caching strategy for authenticated users, and mobile-first architecture.
OOP-architected WordPress plugins built to enterprise standards — clean code, unit tested, documented, and built to scale. Process automation and external API connections.
Custom dashboards, admin panels, and reporting tools that connect to your WordPress ecosystem via REST API. Inventory management, analytics, and data pipelines.
Scalable system design for growing platforms. From dev environment setup with Docker to deployment workflows and code review mentorship for your existing team.
