Khoyer writes code, hunts bugs, and breathes perfume.
Product engineer, ex-support manager, and fraghead.
I like to solve technical problems and play with code. I mostly love working with WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, and Cloudflare products. Product Engineer at Themefic, taking freelance projects that need solid engineering. The work is clean, simple, and made to last.
Kind Words
We worked on many projects together, and one thing always stood out. He brings real design sense into his development work, which you don't see often. Even when the design is already set, he looks at spacing, layout, and how people move through each page. He spots small details and suggests simple tweaks that make the whole flow feel better. The work always ends up more polished because he cares about those details. I'd work with him again without a second thought.

Technologies I Work With
More than half my career was spent with WordPress-based products, and that's still the core of it: WordPress, PHP, and JavaScript, shipped on Cloudflare. Interfaces are where I live, so I run full-stack JavaScript. Same syntax from front end to backend. When a project needs a full app, I scaffold it with Better T Stack, a modern CLI for end-to-end type-safe TypeScript projects, then shape the build to what it needs.
