About

Victor

Portrait of Victor Shudra, independent WordPress developer

Reliable hands-on WordPress engineer with over 12 years of experience. I specialize in solving complex problems for digital agencies - from challenging custom functionality and performance-critical builds to helping teams ship higher-quality projects on time.

I'm Victor, 36, currently based in Odesa, Ukraine and relocating to France later this year. I work remotely as an independent developer - you'll always deal directly with me. I'm open to new opportunities, especially long-term collaborations and monthly retainers with design and marketing agencies, as well as ongoing work with SMBs and product teams.

If it sounds like a good fit, feel free to send a brief - I'll reply with honest feedback and clear next steps.

How to start?

Send me the basics - what the project involves, timeline, constraints, and what success looks like.
I'll get back to you within 24 hours with an honest assessment of fit, risks, and recommendations.

We can also start with a small sample project or smaller tasks set before committing to a retainer.
