> Technical lead empowering creators through mindful technology. WordPress architect, automation expert, and advocate for purposeful digital craftsmanship with over 15 years of engineering experience.

I'm Carmelo Santana, a Senior Staff Engineer and WordPress architect focused on building meaningful solutions through technology and self-awareness. My expertise spans automation, enterprise integrations, and open-source development, with a particular focus on creating space for what truly matters.

My work bridges technical excellence with mindful practices.
