Summary
Manuel Rodriguez is a Co-Founder and technical lead with nine years of hands-on experience building and simplifying WordPress and PHP-based products for SMBs and enterprises. Based in Timișoara, Romania, he combines an engineering degree with a strong freelance background as a certified WordPress expert and staff engineer at XWP, shipping resilient backends, WooCommerce integrations, and cloud-enabled workflows. He thrives at the intersection of product and engineering—co-founding AlmaCore to make WordPress easier for small businesses and previously launching a Lean-backed Propietarios App for property owners. Comfortable in multicultural, high-pressure teams, Manuel moves quickly between hands-on coding, architecture, and client-facing roles, often bringing pragmatic automation (AWS, SNS/Lambda) to e‑commerce and SaaS stacks. An adaptable problem-solver, he pairs TDD-era discipline from past payments and high-traffic projects with a creative flair for enhanced functionality and user-focused solutions.
