Hi, I'm Diego Barros — I build and deploy web systems that don't break. I specialize in WordPress customization, backend development, and DevOps. Whether it's a custom plugin, a scalable deployment pipeline, or untangling a messy hosting setup, I make it work — and keep it working.

My Skills & Expertise

  • Front-end: HTML, CSS/Sass, JavaScript
  • Back-end: PHP, Python
  • CMS & WordPress: Custom theme development, child themes, functions.php customization, WordPress-to-Airtable data sync
  • Cloud & Automation: Google Cloud Platform — Cloud Run Functions (VM data retrieval and sync), Firebase (scheduled functions, automated user backup cleanup), Airtable automations and API integrations
  • Currently expanding: React, Next.js

I build full-stack web solutions with a particular strength in WordPress customization and cloud-based automation — connecting systems like WordPress, Airtable, and GCP to keep data synced and infrastructure running without manual intervention.

WordPress & CMS

Building and customizing WordPress sites end-to-end — custom themes, child themes, and functions.php tailored to each project's workflow.

Also developing custom plugins and integrations, including syncing WordPress content with Airtable for streamlined content management.

Backend Development

Using PHP and Python for CRUD operations, authentication, validation, data retrieval and data manipulation, with a focus on clean, maintainable database structures.

Building API integrations — including Airtable automations — to connect systems and keep data flowing reliably between them.

Cloud & DevOps

Designing and deploying scalable systems on Google Cloud Platform, including Cloud Run Functions for VM data retrieval and sync.

Working with Firebase for scheduled functions and automated user backup cleanup, and building deployment pipelines that turn messy hosting setups into ones that just work.

Both. I regularly take over existing WordPress sites to build custom themes, child themes, and plugins, or to customize functions.php for specific business logic. I also build new sites when a project calls for it — either way, the goal is a site that's easy for you to maintain going forward.

Yes — untangling messy hosting environments is one of the things I'm asked to do most. I start by understanding the current setup (server access, deployment process, DNS) before changing anything, then move things over to a clean, documented pipeline with minimal downtime.

Yes. I build backend integrations and automations that sync WordPress with tools like Airtable, and connect to other third-party APIs as needed — so your content and data stay in sync across systems without manual copy-pasting.

get started

Have a WordPress site that needs work, a backend system to build, or a deployment pipeline to fix? Tell me about your project and let's figure out the best way forward.

Built to Work, Built to Last

Every project gets the same standard: clean code, clear communication, and systems that keep running long after launch — whether it's a WordPress customization, a backend feature, or a full deployment pipeline.

What will be the next step?

  1. We'll discuss your project and goals.
  2. I'll prepare a proposal.
  3. We'll get started.
