Summary
Terrance Orletsky is a seasoned full-stack web engineer with a 25+ year hands-on development history and a decade of focused professional experience delivering WordPress-centric solutions. He specializes in building and securing large multisite WordPress deployments, headless WordPress + Vue.js frontends, and performance-conscious static builds, with a strong practical command of PHP, JavaScript, SCSS, Git, CI/CD and DevOps tooling. At organizations from school districts to startups he has driven migrations, custom ACF/Gutenberg block development, API integrations and accessibility (WCAG 2.2AA) compliance while mentoring junior teams and leading feature lifecycles. Terrance pairs practical UX/UX prototyping skills in Figma and front-end frameworks with backend automation—data migrations, containerized local dev, and server maintenance—making him effective across the stack. He also brings an uncommon background in fine arts and long-lived niche product development (an MS Access solution still in use 22 years on), which contributes to a design-minded, durable approach to engineering. Based in rural Alberta, he combines remote consulting agility with institutional-scale delivery experience.
