MORE THAN JUST WORDPRESS
Hi 👋, I’m Paul Sacalamitao — a WordPress Developer and Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience building high-performing, secure, and scalable websites. I specialize in WordPress development, server management, and performance optimization, helping businesses build a strong online presence that actually converts.
From theme configuration and plugin integrations to speed optimization and security hardening, I make sure every website I touch doesn’t just look stunning — it performs flawlessly under the hood, too.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and my journey started with desktop and web apps in .NET, before evolving into mastering WordPress and CMS platforms like Shopify, Drupal, AEM, and Magento. Along the way I’ve shipped 50+ live WordPress websites, always with security, reliability, and great user experience front and center.
