Talha Javed — Software Engineer & WordPress Developer

I started building websites in college by ripping apart free WordPress themes to see how they worked. That curiosity turned into a full-time career: today I build custom WordPress plugins, headless WooCommerce stores, Shopify themes, and React/Next.js applications for teams across the US, UK, Pakistan, and the Middle East.

My focus is end-to-end ownership. I write the PHP, the React, the SQL, the build pipeline and the deployment script and I sit with clients on the kickoff call so the technical decisions match the actual business goal. I care about Core Web Vitals, security (nonces, capabilities, sanitize/escape, OWASP Top 10), and writing code that the next developer can read without a Slack thread.

In the last two years I've gone deep on AI engineering and building RAG pipelines, LangChain agents, and AWS Bedrock workflows for production chatbots. I documented that journey in two books (Artificial Intelligence: Complete Guide from Zero and an AWS Certified AI Practitioner study guide) which now help other engineers get into the field and get certified.

What makes me different: I am a one-person full-stack team. You do not need to coordinate a backend dev, a frontend dev, a WordPress specialist and a DevOps person to ship. I have done that consolidation on 30+ client projects, and the fewer hand-offs, the faster (and cheaper) the project ships.
