Companies I've Worked With
Checkout broke after an update. Orders sit in pending. The gateway works in testing, but real customers still hit errors.
I trace payment failures to the cause: webhooks, refunds, retries, late-loading scripts and checkout blocks. No extra plugin stacked on top.
Your store needs to talk to a POS, accounting tool, CRM or AI service.
Integrations with retries, logging and a sync you can check, built on the WordPress and WooCommerce REST APIs.
No plugin does what you need, or someone edited one in place.
Custom plugins, WooCommerce extensions and blocks, in version control and to WordPress coding standards.
Product, cart or booking pages take seconds to respond.
I find the real bottleneck: queries, autoloaded options, AJAX, Action Scheduler. Not another caching plugin.
Every PHP or WooCommerce update feels like a gamble.
Upgrades checked on staging first, with custom code fixed before your customers see a problem.
Your agency needs a senior WooCommerce engineer on a project.
I work in your repo and your process, under your brand, and stay invisible to your client if you need that.
Tell me what's happening. I read the code before I quote, and I'll say so if I'm not the right fit.
Most of my extension and plugin work is public, so you can read the code and the release notes. Client work is anonymised.
Built two-way order sync between Square and WooCommerce, added multi-variation support, rebuilt merchant onboarding in React/Redux, and brought the extension to PHP 8.2+.
123 merged pull requests on WooCommerce Bookings, plus Accommodation Bookings, Bookings Availability, Box Office, Xero, Deposits, Product Vendors and more, working with the WooCommerce team.
Core developer of Multicollab, which brings Google Docs-style inline comments and suggestions to the WordPress block editor for publishing teams.
Visit MulticollabLead contributor on the 10up plugin that lets sites store user avatars locally instead of relying on Gravatar.
Contributions across WordPress core, meta and plugins, credited in 13 WordPress releases from 5.1 to 7.0.
10 merged pull requests to WooCommerce core, including cart and product accessibility fixes.
Most client work is white-label for agencies or under NDA, so it can't be shown here. The public record: 300+ merged pull requests across WooCommerce core and 15+ official extensions, and credits in 13 WordPress releases.
Real problems, real fixes. Anonymised, but every one is a delivered outcome.
The host's scanner flagged WordPress core, 19 plugins and 2 themes. Updating the old theme and page builder straight on live would have broken the layout.
Cleaned up and updated on staging in a safe order, checked all 54 pages after every step, replaced a withdrawn plugin with a small custom one, then moved the site to PHP 8.3.
Customers updating their card on file intermittently hit a dead error page, a timing race between the membership plugin and an external payment script that had no fallback when the script loaded late.
Reproduced the race on demand by forcing the script delay, then built a custom guard plugin that detects the failure and shows a clear retry instead of a dead page.
Three conflicting shipping plugins, a tax-automation plugin with no API key silently zeroing every order, and products missing weight data blocking live carrier rates.
Removed the conflicting plugin, reconfigured tax calculation natively, built proper domestic and international shipping zones, and backfilled product weights.
"Faisal has been great to work with. He responds quickly and professionally. He goes above and beyond to help us understand and feel comfortable with the work that he is doing."
"Faisal fixed the issue quickly and was easy to communicate with."
"The WordPress homepage he designed is clean, professional, and exactly what my brand needed. He even went beyond what I originally asked for, and he didn't nickel-and-dime me for extra features, he just did them because he knew they'd make the final product better."
Most of my work is white-label for agencies, so their clients never see my name or leave a review. These are the reviews that are public.
No vague estimates. No surprises. Every project starts with reading your codebase, not just your brief. I scope from evidence, not assumptions.
Before quoting timelines or costs, I review your existing code, hosting setup, and plugin stack. That's the only way to give a scope that holds.
A clear proposal: what I'll build, what I'll fix, what I won't touch, and why. No ambiguous delivery.
Code with inline documentation and handoff notes so your next developer isn't starting from zero.
No account managers or handoffs. I scope, build and deliver, and you can reach me throughout the project.
Ongoing care, a one-time diagnosis, an active hack, broken GA4 tracking, or something that doesn't fit a neat box. Here's where to start.
Credited in 13 WordPress releases, from 5.1 to 7.0. Sustained contributions across core, WooCommerce core, official extensions (Square, Bookings, Box Office, Xero) and plugins like Simple Local Avatars.
Vetted on Codeable, the curated platform for trusted WordPress experts.
Both. I build bespoke WordPress and WooCommerce plugins from the ground up when nothing off-the-shelf fits, and I extend or fix existing plugins when that's the faster, cheaper path. I'll tell you honestly which one your case needs before you commit.
Both, depending on the work. Well-defined builds get a fixed quote after I audit the requirements. Open-ended debugging or ongoing work is hourly. Either way you get a written scope first. No vague estimates, no surprise invoices.
Yes. Everything ships WordPress-Coding-Standards compliant, documented inline, and with handoff notes. Your next developer won't spend three months reverse-engineering it. That's a core reason agencies keep bringing me back.
Regularly. Much of my work is subcontracted through agencies under their brand. You get a senior engineer on your team without the headcount, and I stay invisible to your client if that's what you need.
I'm credited in 13 WordPress releases, have 300+ merged pull requests across WooCommerce core and official extensions, and I'm a vetted Codeable expert. I've seen the failure patterns that break WordPress and WooCommerce at scale, and I scope from evidence: I read your codebase before I quote. You're paying for work that holds up, not work you have to fix twice.
I'm in India (UTC+5:30) and work with clients worldwide, including US and European teams. I overlap with most time zones for at least part of the day and respond within 24 hours.
Ask me directly. Send a short note about your site or project, or book a free 20-minute call. You'll get a straight answer, even if it's that you don't need me.
Culpritly
Early access
Culpritly is a product I'm building for WooCommerce and membership sites that take payments. It records every change on your site, notices when checkout or signups stop working, and explains in plain English what broke, what it cost, and what to try first.
Send me your plugin, feature spec, or the bug that's been eating your week. I'll review it and tell you straight what's wrong, what it'll take to fix, and whether you even need me. No sales pitch.
