Hi, I'm Sean Herbert, a senior full-stack web developer with over 13 years of experience specializing in PHP, WordPress, and modern JavaScript frameworks. I excel at building high-performance websites and web applications, combining the reliability of PHP and WordPress with cutting-edge frontend technologies like React, Next.js, and TypeScript. My expertise includes custom WordPress theme and plugin development, PHP application architecture, database optimization, and creating seamless user experiences. I'm passionate about clean code, performance optimization, and delivering scalable solutions that drive business results.
