Status

Delivered

A state fencing association site — one of the live builds shipped with this tooling.

[ The transformation ]

Before

Repeated WordPress work — forensics, forking, full rebuilds — was manual, slow and error-prone.

After

Work that used to be manual grind became automated tooling — including a full site rebuilt straight from a backup.

[ The hard problem ]

Building automated tooling for work that most developers do by hand — plugin forensics, GPL-compliant forking, and full site reconstruction from raw backup files.

[ How it works ]

I built real tools for it:

WP Duplicator System

Automated, GPL-compliant forking/rebranding of plugins/themes (fork → genuine improvements → proper attribution → distribute), built as a monetisable service model.

WordPress Analyst

A forensic analyser: core/database architecture, plugin/theme reverse-engineering, Elementor/page-builder internals, performance & security auditing.

Site Builder from ZIP

A Playwright utility that extracts and rebuilds an entire site from a WordPress backup ZIP (proven by rebuilding a full production site from nothing but its backup archive).
