Instant search-as-you-type for a WordPress glossary
Build instant glossary search in WordPress: a validated REST endpoint, debounced fetch with AbortController, a fast query and accessible results.
Service · Plugins and integrations
When WordPress has to talk to another system, or do something no plugin does well, I write the code: custom plugins, REST API integrations and data importers.
=== Plugins and integrations ===
A plugin that does what your site needs and nothing else: custom post types, admin screens, shortcodes or blocks.
WordPress exchanging data with other systems through their APIs, such as a store, a newsletter tool or your own platform.
Content pulled from another site or service and created in WordPress, so nobody has to copy it by hand.
Search, filters and status boards that update over AJAX while the visitor stays on the page.
A sign-up bridge to a C# platform, a live train board and a private tool with Shopify data. Each one opens a short case study.
GLEbill
Site for GLEbill, a legal e-billing SaaS, where WordPress handles sign-up and sends each new account, encrypted, to the C# platform.
Moynihan Train Hall
Visitor website for New York’s Moynihan Train Hall. I rebuilt its live Amtrak and LIRR train tool and took care of maintenance and content.
NaturalSlim Resource Center
Internal knowledge base for NaturalSlim’s call-center team: a custom WordPress tool with product data from Shopify, dictionaries and documents.
