Yavor Zagorski

Match for this role

Built for production WordPress work.

• Extensive WordPress experience across traditional custom themes, Gutenberg-based development, custom plugins and production maintenance.
• Built 30+ custom Gutenberg blocks and reusable editorial/UI components, including block controls, dynamic data, responsive behavior and editor/frontend consistency.
• Strong HTML, CSS and JavaScript foundations with years of pixel-focused responsive implementation from design references and existing visual systems.
• Experience working with PHP-backed WordPress functionality, APIs and databases when front-end requirements extend beyond presentation.
• Regular use of AI-assisted engineering tools and a customized coding workflow for analysis, implementation, review, refactoring and faster iteration.
• Comfortable with Git/GitHub workflows and CI/CD concepts; production experience includes deployment, infrastructure, debugging and release responsibility.
• Approximately five years of daily remote collaboration in English, plus a long earlier background in customer-facing team leadership.

Professional experience

• Built and evolved multiple custom WordPress themes and front-end systems for content-heavy production websites, from initial implementation through redesigns and long-term maintenance.
• Created 30+ custom Gutenberg blocks and component systems for editors, with careful attention to front-end fidelity, responsive behavior and maintainable styling.
• Translated design requirements and visual references into production interfaces, refining layouts and interactions across desktop and mobile rather than relying on generic page-builder output.
• Developed custom plugins and features for rankings, comparisons, CTA management, filters, structured content, redirects and data-driven presentation.
• Worked across HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP, with React/TypeScript and Node.js used where appropriate rather than as framework labels.
• Diagnosed cross-layer production issues involving WordPress, JavaScript, REST APIs, SQL, caching, Redis, Cloudflare, Nginx, PHP-FPM and Linux.
• Worked independently on ambiguous requirements while collaborating remotely with stakeholders in English and adapting as product and design requirements changed.

AI-assisted development

AI as an engineering multiplier.

For roughly two years I have been developing and refining a customized AI-assisted coding workflow around my own coding standards and architectural preferences. I use AI tools such as Codex to explore approaches, accelerate implementation, refactor repetitive work, review code, document decisions and shorten feedback loops.

I remain responsible for the architecture, validation, testing and production result.
