Al Amin — WordPress System Engineer

Building production-grade WordPress systems. Not themes. Not page builders. Engineered plugins, WooCommerce infrastructure, and server-managed deployments.

📍 Khulna, Bangladesh  ·  🌐 almn.me  ·  📧 hmalaminmb4@gmail.com  ·  💼 LinkedIn


What I Build

I specialize in the backend engineering layer of WordPress — custom plugin architecture, WooCommerce business logic, REST API systems, and server-level infrastructure. I manage 20+ live production websites on self-configured VPS environments (Ubuntu + Nginx), and I understand the full stack from DNS and Cloudflare edge rules down to PHP process management and database query optimization.

My work is production-grade: sanitized inputs, prepared SQL statements, proper nonce handling, capability checks, and WordPress Coding Standards throughout.
