06What clients say

Trusted by teams that ship.

"Hamza rewrote our checkout from scratch in 6 weeks. Conversion jumped 18% and our infra bill dropped. He thinks like a CTO, ships like a senior engineer."

SM
Sara Mendel
VP Engineering · Northwind

"We've worked with a lot of WordPress 'experts'. Hamza is in a different category. The plugin he built for us is still flawless three years later."

DO
David Okafor
Founder · Apex Publishing

"Performance audit, refactor, and launch in under a month. Lighthouse went from 41 to 96. The communication was as good as the code."

HR
Helena Rivas
Head of Product · Lumen

"Hamza migrated our multisite network without a single second of downtime. Editors didn't even notice — they just said the admin felt faster."

ML
Marcus Lin
CTO · Civic Media

"He treats performance like a product feature. Core Web Vitals went green across 40+ templates and stayed there. Rare combination of taste and rigor."
