About Alexander

I am a Senior Software Developer with over 15 years of experience in the conception, implementation, and optimization of modern web applications.

My entry into WordPress was already with version 1.2 (2004), I have been using Symfony since version 2.3 (2015) and React since version 16.0 (2017).

Through my previous work in an agency, I have gained experience with a wide range of projects and requirements - from classic company websites to complex WordPress and WooCommerce solutions. I have worked with the classic WordPress editor, Elementor, and Gutenberg, and have both developed existing projects further and conceived new architectures.

I have optimized WordPress projects, both at the code and application level (performance, caching, database) and at the server and infrastructure level. I have also implemented complex WordPress solutions, e.g., membership and subscription models.

With React, I have realized several Single Page Applications (SPAs) and developed dynamic components specifically to expand existing websites functionally and interactively.

In the Symfony environment, I have worked on professional enterprise projects, including within the scope of body leasing projects for SensioLabs.

In addition, I contribute to open-source projects.

I work in a structured, professional, and solution-oriented manner. With me, there is no "yes-man", but a sparring partner for practical, efficient solutions who makes clear recommendations and pays attention to the added value of every decision.

    For the VHF shop, I took over the technical support of a US-based WooCommerce system without existing documentation. The entire project was handled in English with the New York-based team.

    The shop was overloaded with almost 100 plugins, leading to significant performance issues. Through systematic analysis, I was able to reduce the number of plugins to 50 without losing important functionalities. Many extensions overlapped or were outdated.
    Additionally, I developed custom AI tools for automated PO order processing. These tools significantly reduce manual work steps and shorten the processing time for recurring orders by over 60%. The AI integration minimizes error sources and sustainably optimizes business processes.

    Another component was the successful server migration to a more modern, higher-performance infrastructure. The migration was carried out with minimal downtime and no data loss. The new server is configured more securely and designed for future viability.

    The result is a significantly faster and more stable e-commerce shop with 40% reduced loading times and considerably increased system stability. The implemented AI tools are used daily by the team and have proven to be a valuable addition for process optimization.

Alex implemented an API interface for us and managed to do it technically very cleanly and quickly. Every adjustment was understood and implemented promptly without long communication. The communication was always respectful and uncomplicated. Overall, very reliable, fast in implementation, and technically strong, exactly as one wishes for technical projects. We will work with him again in the future and can clearly recommend him.
