Answer the following four questions: - “What’s the hardest WP bug you’ve solved recently?” - “Have you ever fixed a performance issue? What did you do?” - “What’s your process when you don’t know how to fix something?” - "How are you incorporating AI into your development workflow? 2. Record and send a link to a 2–3 minute Loom/video explaining how you approached a specific broken website issue recently. FYI: It’s expected that you’ll use AI tools where appropriate to speed up the dev process (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.). But your answers to the above should reflect how *you* think and work.

Hi, I’m available to start right away and can work within 8am–5pm CST. I have strong experience with WordPress (ACF, custom templates, builders like Avada), PHP, LAMP stack troubleshooting, and debugging real-world issues across live environments. The hardest WP bug I solved recently was a checkout form failing silently due to a conflict between a caching plugin and AJAX nonce validation; I traced it through network logs, isolated the plugin conflict, and implemented a proper exclusion + nonce refresh fix. For performance, I’ve improved slow sites by identifying bottlenecks across layers—removing heavy plugins, optimizing queries, enabling object/page caching, fixing DNS delays, and improving Core Web Vitals (LCP/CLS). When I don’t know how to fix something, I break it down, reproduce the issue, check logs (server + browser), isolate variables, and test hypotheses quickly until I find the root cause. I also actively use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to speed up debugging, generate test cases, and validate approaches, while keeping full control over implementation decisions. I’m comfortable jumping into messy situations, asking the right questions, and getting things working reliably with clean, maintainable fixes. Best regards, Juan

Hi, I understand this role is centered on solving real WordPress issues in live environments, not just building pages. You need someone who can trace vague problems to root causes, work confidently across themes, plugins, ACF templates, builders, forms, APIs, caching, DNS, and hosting, and deliver fixes that are reliable and detail focused. My approach is to work from symptom to root cause with structured debugging, isolate conflicts quickly, verify behavior across the stack, and implement fixes cleanly so they hold up in production. I can support builder based and custom WordPress setups, handle performance improvements tied to Core Web Vitals, and execute design updates accurately with strong CSS and practical PHP and JavaScript within WordPress. I also use AI tools to speed up investigation, pattern checking, and solution validation while keeping technical judgment fully manual. Before delivery, I test the exact issue path, confirm the fix in staging or safe conditions, review for regressions, validate responsive behavior, and recheck performance and integration points so the result is stable. Best, Justin
