Shah Kamal, full stack WordPress developer

My story

12+ years of building WordPress the right way

I have been building WordPress websites since 2014 — first PSD-to-WordPress themes, then custom themes, plugins and WooCommerce stores for clients in the US, UK, Europe and Australia.

Over the years my work grew past the theme folder. Today I also set up and run the servers my sites live on, make them fast and SEO-ready, and deploy them automatically from GitHub. Lately I have been adding AI features — chat assistants and smart search — to existing WordPress sites.

Most of my clients found me on Upwork, and many have stayed for years. That is the part I am proudest of.

  • Custom themes, plugins & WooCommerce
  • Speed, SEO and security built in
  • Servers, CI/CD and now AI features

How I work

What clients can count on

Code to server — one developer

Theme, plugins, hosting and deploys handled by one person. No finger-pointing between agencies.

Clients who stay for years

Many of my 112 Upwork jobs are repeat work from the same clients — since 2014.

Clear, fast communication

Plain-English updates, quick replies and honest timelines across time zones.

Performance first

No bloated page builders. Lean code, optimised images and self-hosted fonts.

Secure by default

Hardened servers, SSL, backups, least-privilege access and clean, escaped code.

Easy for you to edit

ACF blocks with clear fields, so you update content without breaking the design.
