Payment infrastructure work — WooCommerce plugins used by thousands of merchants, a URL shortener that cut SMS costs by 25%, and the documentation that made the whole thing easier to integrate.
Maintained WooCommerce payment plugins serving thousands of active merchants — a lot of careful bug-fixing to keep things working across the block editor and HPOS without breaking existing integrations
Built a URL shortener service that ended up saving ~25% on SMS costs platform-wide. Sounds like a small project, but when SMS volume is high the savings are real
Improved API and plugin documentation to the point where merchant integration support requests dropped noticeably — good docs are underrated
Fixed critical production bugs and kept system stability high across a payment platform where downtime directly costs merchants money
WooCommerce plugin compatibility with Gutenberg block editor and HPOS was fragile — each WordPress update was a potential regression for thousands of merchants
SMS-based payment notifications were expensive at scale. No one had looked at the actual cost per message until the bill landed
API documentation was incomplete and inconsistent, creating support overhead every time a new merchant tried to integrate
Refactored WooCommerce plugins to be block-editor-compatible and HPOS-ready, with a test suite covering the most common regression paths so updates stopped being scary
Built a URL shortener with redirect tracking — short enough for SMS, with analytics attached. The 25% cost reduction was a side effect of doing it properly
Rewrote the integration documentation from scratch, covering auth flows, webhook contracts, and error handling with real examples instead of vague descriptions
URL shortener reduced SMS costs by ~25% platform-wide — measurable ROI from a 2-week project
Zero critical plugin regressions after block-editor compatibility refactor shipped
Merchant integration support requests dropped after documentation rewrite
Production payment platform stability maintained for thousands of active merchants
