things I have built

Projects

WooCommerce Extra Product Options
Plugin

A comprehensive WordPress plugin that adds custom fields to WooCommerce product pages — text inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, date pickers, file uploads and more. Includes an admin field builder, conditional display rules, and full cart and order integration.

PHP WordPress WooCommerce jQuery MySQL
Stripe Checkout Session Integration

Resolved a complex compatibility issue between a WooCommerce field editor plugin and the Stripe payment gateway. Stripe's bundled JS reads #billing_phone into billing_details.phone — when the field is hidden the confirmation call rejects with a null phone error. Built a compatibility shim that intercepts the Stripe AJAX handler without modifying vendor files.

PHP Stripe API WooCommerce JavaScript AJAX
WooCommerce Checkout Field Editor

Plugin to add, edit, remove and reorder WooCommerce checkout fields with a drag and drop admin interface. Supports field validation, conditional logic, and custom CSS classes without touching template files.

PHP WordPress WooCommerce jQuery UI
Dynamic Admin Form Builder

JavaScript-driven admin UI for building complex form configurations. Features a multi-step wizard, drag and drop field ordering, conditional display rule builder, and real-time field type switching with dynamic option filtering.
