About Me

I'm Realeboha Lekhanya — a Senior Web Developer specialising in the WordPress ecosystem: PHP core, custom themes and plugins, MySQL, REST APIs, and modern front-ends with Bootstrap and React. Six years agency delivery from discovery through launch, often as technical lead guiding architecture, scope, and quality.

My work focuses on translating business requirements into secure, scalable platforms — balancing performance, maintainability, and clear stakeholder communication. I work with teams across South Africa and internationally, from discovery workshops through delivery.

About

Technical Leadership

How I help teams ship secure, scalable WordPress platforms — from requirements to mentored delivery.

Solution Design & Custom Build

Custom themes, plugins, hooks and filters, ACF architectures, Figma-to-responsive builds with Bootstrap and React where needed. Independent debugging and clear technical options.

APIs & Integrations

Custom WordPress REST endpoints, third-party integrations (CRMs, payments, external services), MySQL data modelling for complex platforms.

Performance, Scale & Security

97–99 PageSpeed without builders, caching and query optimisation, hardening and data-protection best practice across every build.

Leadership & Delivery

Requirements gathering, stakeholder presentations, code reviews, and mentoring juniors. Git-tracked, documented delivery that future developers want to inherit.

Work Experience

Six years of production work across South Africa and the UK — from agency teams shipping client sites to owning my own products end to end. Same standard either way: code a senior engineer would want to inherit.

InHouse Design

As Creative Web Developer at InHouse Design, I lead the technical delivery of bespoke WordPress websites — custom themes and plugins built with PHP, HTML, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript, from architecture through deployment. I own performance, accessibility, and SEO at a structural level, run code reviews, and mentor developers on modern WordPress workflows. I work directly with designers and stakeholders to scope requirements, validate decisions, and ship fast, maintainable sites without heavy plugin stacks.

Athlon.London

At Athlon.London I delivered responsive web projects for international clients, leading front-end feature development with reusable, maintainable code and third-party service integrations. I contributed technical input during planning and estimation, and worked directly with designers, project managers, and clients — balancing tight deadlines with quality and communicating trade-offs clearly.

Afrozaar

At Afrozaar I built interactive front-end components and custom WordPress functionality across multiple client projects — integrating APIs alongside backend developers and extending content management workflows. Working in an agile team across concurrent codebases, I learned to adapt to shifting requirements and built the structured delivery habits — code reviews, maintainable code, clear handover — that underpin my senior work today.

Bsure Group

At Bsure Group I built and maintained responsive websites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP — turning design mockups into functional pages and implementing custom WordPress themes and plugins. The focus on cross-browser compatibility, performance, and user experience gave me my foundation in clean, user-centred front-end delivery.
