Harshik R.

Hello! 😇

8+ years building and maintaining WordPress and Shopify sites. Not themes from ThemeForest with logo swaps - real custom development. 36+ Upwork projects, $100K+ earned, 100% Job Success, and 6+ clients who pay me every single month to keep their sites alive because they've seen what happens when they don't.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

• WordPress: Custom theme development (starter themes, child themes, FSE block themes), plugin development from scratch, ACF/CPT-driven content architectures, WooCommerce stores with custom checkout and payment flows, REST API integrations, headless WordPress builds with React and Next.js. I'm as comfortable in raw PHP and MySQL as I am in Elementor or Divi - and I know when each one is the right call.

• Shopify: Liquid theme development and deep customization, custom sections and blocks, metafield architecture, multi-currency and multilingual stores via Shopify Markets, app integrations, and payment gateway setup. My biggest Shopify build was a 6-language e-commerce platform with Stripe handling cross-region bookings and payments.

• Migrations: I've moved sites between WordPress, Shopify, Contentful, and static platforms - handling DNS cutover, SSL, 301 redirects, serialized database migrations, broken image paths, and .htaccess rewrites. The goal is always the same: zero downtime, zero SEO damage, zero confused customers.

• Maintenance & Security: Core/plugin/theme updates, malware cleanup, Wordfence and Sucuri hardening, automated daily backups, uptime monitoring, Core Web Vitals optimization, technical SEO fixes, schema markup, caching stack setup (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare), and server-level tuning on cPanel/WHM and Linux environments.

Stack: WordPress · PHP · MySQL · WooCommerce · Shopify · Liquid · JavaScript · React · Next.js · REST APIs · Git · Elementor · ACF · Cloudflare · cPanel/WHM · Linux

What makes me different isn't the tech list - it's that I don't disappear after launch. I document what I build, I explain decisions in plain language, and I respond within hours.

Most of my projects turn into ongoing retainers because clients realize a good developer isn't someone you hire once - it's someone you keep.

Send me your site URL and a quick description of what you need. I'll review it, tell you exactly what I'd do and how long it'll take - before you spend a single dollar.
