At the end of 2019, I made a big shift – I took a full-time job for the first time in nearly 15 years.
It was right before my first kid was born, and just a few months later, COVID hit.
Looking back, the timing couldn’t have been better.
For the past five years, I’ve been deep in agency work, handling everything from custom development to security audits, performance optimization, and retainer support.
It’s been a solid run, but as of exactly one month ago, I’m back to doing my own thing full-time again.
And honestly? That timing feels just as perfect.
So, what does this mean?
It means that in addition to continuing my open-source projects, premium plugins like BoostBox and IntelliPress AI, and apps like Plugin Pal, I’m now also taking on client work.

What I Offer
🔧 Custom Development
Need a plugin, app, or custom functionality built from scratch? I can help.

🔐 Security Audits
I’ve reported dozens of security vulnerabilities in WordPress® plugins and have a deep understanding of how to harden sites and applications against threats.
If you need a second pair of eyes on your code, I’m here to help.
See my past security research:
- WordPress Royal Elementor Addons Plugin <= 1.3.987 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
- WordPress Happy Addons for Elementor Plugin <= 3.12.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
- Essential Addons for Elementor — Best Elementor Templates, Widgets, Kits & WooCommerce Builders <= 6.0.3 – Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Fancy Text Widget
- Firelight Lightbox <= 2.3.3 – Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

⚡ Performance Optimization
Slow site? High bounce rate?
I’ve helped businesses optimize their websites and applications for speed and efficiency – whether that means fixing bloated themes, optimizing database queries, or implementing caching/CDN strategies.
See example page speed optimization:
- GTMetrix – robertdevore.com
- GTMetrix – pluginpal.app
- GTMetrix – intelli.press
- GTMetrix – deviodigital.com

Need a fast, clean website that doesn’t waste time or money? I offer MVP Website Builds: 5 pages, 1 week, $2,500 flat.
It’s perfect for founders, freelancers, and small teams who want to launch something solid without the bloat, delay, or drama.
You’ll get a fast, mobile-ready, SEO-friendly site that looks professional and actually reflects your brand – not a cookie-cutter template.

(Homepage, About, Contact, and any two of your choosing) - Built with performance in mind (WordPress or my own static site generator, Stattic)
- Clean code, no builder bloat, no shady upsells

🤘 Have Something Else in Mind?
Not everything fits into a neat little box.
If you have a project or an idea that doesn’t quite fit into the above categories but still needs expert execution – let’s talk.
Chances are, I can help (or at least point you in the right direction).
I spend a lot of time in the WordPress® world, but that’s not the only thing I do. If you’ve got a project – WordPress-related or not – that needs to get done, let’s talk.
