David Tavares

Senior WordPress Developer and Technical Project Manager with 15+ years delivering web and e-commerce solutions for U.S.-based companies. I bridge the gap between technical execution and project delivery, comfortable architecting a custom Gutenberg block system, running Agile sprints, and presenting to stakeholders in English in the same afternoon. Recent work includes contributing to the web platform of National Business Capital, a U.S. fintech company with $3B+ in funded capital, and leading a portfolio of 50+ concurrent projects as Operations Manager at Blue Ocean Technology LLC, where I sustained Lighthouse Desktop 98–100/100 and zero Core Web Vitals issues across 199 URLs for 12+ consecutive months.

My stack runs deep on WordPress: custom themes, plugins, Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce, and headless CMS architectures with GraphQL. It extends further into PHP, JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, REST APIs, and cloud infrastructure across AWS, Google Cloud, Pantheon, WP Engine, and Vercel. I am actively expanding into AI Engineering via the applications path, building local agents with Ollama, working with MCP (Model Context Protocol), and integrating LLMs into development workflows. Scrum-certified (SFPC), C1 Advanced English (ETS certified), based in Montevideo, Uruguay, and fully available for remote roles with U.S. companies.
