Summary
Emanuel Lopes is a seasoned PHP developer with 11 years of experience, currently building backend and headless WordPress solutions at Namecheap from Leiria, Portugal. He designs Docker-based CI pipelines, Composer packages, and Laravel-like theme architectures that bring SOLID principles, dependency injection and unit/integration testing into WordPress ecosystems.
