Need Help With a WordPress or Web Project?

I also take on select freelance projects for bloggers, small businesses, and website owners who need help solving a specific technical problem.

I can help with:

• WordPress bugs and troubleshooting
• Custom WordPress plugins and features
• API integrations
• Google Maps integrations and location-based features

I especially enjoy the projects where an off-the-shelf plugin almost works — but not quite.

About Me

Hi, I’m Lisa Thompson, a Senior Software Engineer based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

I’ve been building software for more than 20 years, with over a decade focused on enterprise development. I bring that experience to smaller WordPress and web projects where practical problem-solving matters more than flashy complexity.

My experience includes React, TypeScript, PHP, WordPress, REST APIs, MySQL, Google Maps, and AWS. I’m especially passionate about creating polished user interfaces that balance technical complexity with a great user experience.

This portfolio highlights a few of the projects I’ve enjoyed building, along with the engineering decisions and lessons learned behind them.
