Studio work

Matt Hummel

I publish Gettysburg WordPress projects here — live demos for shops, tours, and inns. Hire me on this site for a real build.

Availability

Available

I'm actively looking for full-time roles, contract work, freelance projects, and agency partnerships. My focus is full-stack web development, especially WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, React, and API integrations.

If you’re hiring a full-stack developer, need WordPress expertise, or want a dependable development partner for overflow work, a short note is enough to start.

Writing

Notes from real builds

I write short posts on WordPress, PHP, and the tools I actually use on projects. Most posts include code you can paste into a theme or plugin. I write for developers who want something working, not a tutorial that ends at "and so on."

Posts go on the journal first. Some get cross-posted to DEV.to. Nothing is paywalled.

How I work

Building with AI, reviewing every line

I use Cursor AI, Claude, and ChatGPT as part of my development workflow. AI makes the first pass faster — I review everything before it ships. The final code is something I can explain and maintain.

I'm honest about this because I think it matters: if you hire me, you're getting real engineering judgment, not just generated output. This site was planned and built with Cursor AI.

Life

Family and focus

I live with my family. Nights and weekends belong to people, not projects. Weekdays I take full-time, contract, and freelance WordPress work. I work Eastern Time hours.

The short version

Right now, in one list

  • Open for full-time, contract, and freelance WordPress / full-stack work.
  • Shipping WordPress themes and plugins from studio projects (Work page + Shop).
  • Writing short posts on WordPress development — code you can paste in
  • Using Cursor AI and Claude to build faster, reviewing every line before it ships
  • Raising kids — nights and weekends stay with family. Weekdays I take hireable work.
  • Working Eastern Time, available for remote and local clients

Let’s work together

Something I can help with?
