Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Pisula is a Senior Web Developer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing PHP-driven web applications and CMS platforms. He has repeatedly led projects integrating complex back-end systems with WordPress and WooCommerce—authoring a custom PHP SDK and plugin to bridge inventory APIs—and advocates for strong testing and documentation practices. Comfortable across the full stack, Michael has delivered work in Laravel, Symfony, Drupal, CodeIgniter and Grav, and has a track record of rescuing and upgrading legacy, often undocumented codebases. He brings leadership experience from both enterprise (U.S. Bank, HP Tuners) and agency/contract roles, mentoring teams on estimation, CI testing, and collaborative knowledge transfer. A former freelancer and technical lead, he pairs a designer’s background (B.F.A. Fine Art and B.S. Graphic Communication) with pragmatic engineering, which helps him balance UX, SEO and performance concerns. Based in the Greater Chicago area, he’s known for turning maintenance-heavy systems into well-tested, documented products that teams can own and evolve.
