6 years as a Senior Software Engineer / Lead Developer at WPPOOL and founder of WPAzleen. I build production WooCommerce sync tools, AI-powered chat systems, and now RAG pipelines, AI agents, and MCP tooling — directly inside WordPress.

Discover

Understand the real problem — the plugin, the workflow, or the AI feature you actually need, not just what's being asked for on the surface.

Stage 01

Discover & Scope

Every engagement starts with digging into the actual WordPress environment, WooCommerce setup, or data flow involved — not assumptions.

Audit existing site, plugins & data sources
Map out edge cases before writing code

Stage 02

Architect the Solution

PHP backend structure, REST endpoints, database schema, and — where relevant — the RAG/agent pipeline are all planned before implementation starts.

WordPress-standard plugin architecture
Clear data & sync boundaries

Stage 03

Build & Integrate

Backend logic, frontend components, and WooCommerce hooks come together, with every feature checked against WPCS and real-world usage.

PHP + React/Alpine.js + SCSS
Security & sanitization built in, not bolted on

Stage 04

Ship & Support

Automated testing, a WordPress.org-ready readme, and ongoing support keep the plugin reliable long after launch day.

Playwright test coverage
Root-cause debugging, not quick patches

RAG, AI Agents & MCP — built into WordPress

I'm deepening my work in Retrieval-Augmented Generation, autonomous AI agents, and Model Context Protocol tooling, wiring them directly into WordPress products like AskAny. Automation and testing are handled with Playwright to keep everything production-grade.

"I build products that are meant to be depended on — sync tools that don't silently fail, chatbots that don't hallucinate on your data, and code that passes review the first time."
