My name is Paulo Ramalho, and this is my website as a Web Developer. I am a Full Stack developer focusing on backend and frontend architecture for product-driven applications. I build custom web applications using WordPress as a headless CMS, never as a visual page builder. I design data models with Custom Post Types, expose content via REST APIs, and develop frontends with React / Next.js when the project requires it.
I work without commercial themes or unnecessary plugins. All code is custom, modular, maintainable, and performance-optimized, with well-structured SASS and a foundation designed to scale reliably over time. I strive for pixel-perfect, responsive UI/UX, ensuring usability and consistency across the entire stack. My approach combines backend logic, data architecture, and frontend design, delivering robust, scalable, and professional solutions.
If you have a WordPress project in mind and want to achieve top marketing and corporate results, feel free to get in touch.
