Experience

Hands-on across the full technical lifecycle.

Rajesh has worked across the complete lifecycle of digital projects: discovery, architecture, database design, backend and frontend development, CMS work, API integration, infrastructure, deployment, troubleshooting and ongoing support.

A large part of that experience was built through long-term work with a UK-based digital company where reliability, remote communication and supporting many different client environments were part of normal day-to-day delivery.

Complex work

Where experience makes the biggest difference.

The strongest value often appears when a project is already difficult, urgent or technically unclear.

Inherited system recovery

Audit unfamiliar code, identify the real failure points, stabilise production and create a safe route for ongoing development.

Security and attack response

Investigate compromised sites, remove malicious changes, harden the environment, restore confidence and reduce the chance of repeat incidents.

Failed upgrades and migrations

Resolve compatibility issues, PHP upgrades, plugin and theme failures, data migration problems and deployment regressions without unnecessary rewrites.

Performance and infrastructure problems

Trace slow requests, database bottlenecks, cache issues, server configuration problems and production behaviour across the stack.

Complex transactional products

Work on eCommerce, live auction, payments, invoicing, dashboards and real-time workflows where reliability directly affects the business.

Long-term technical ownership

Stay involved after launch so architecture, support knowledge, production behaviour and future improvements remain connected.

Work directly with senior experience
