About Jake Henshall

Full Stack Web Developer with 10+ years’ experience architecting and delivering scalable, high-performance platforms. I specialise in Laravel, WordPress (Bricks, WooCommerce), and modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Typescript), building solutions that are fast, lean, and designed for growth. I leverage AI-driven development to accelerate delivery and improve quality, using advanced prompt engineering, automation pipelines, and tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor IDE to cut project timelines by up to 30% while reducing technical debt. I’ve led cross-functional teams across the UK and internationally, modernised legacy systems into microservices-based architectures, and optimised workflows with CI/CD, DevOps, and AI-enhanced coding practices. My work spans Core Web Vitals optimisation, UX/data-focused Laravel builds, complex API integrations, and high-traffic WordPress deployments. Recent highlights: Reduced deployment times by 50% with CI/CD pipelines. Delivered Shopify & WooCommerce solutions boosting sales by 40%. Built a reusable WordPress framework cutting dev time by 22%. Integrated AI-driven project workflows, slashing admin overhead by 60%. I work with agencies, startups, and growing businesses on both project-based builds and long-term support.
