Launched the ENAM national magistracy exam portal, which served 30,000+ visits in under one month, with an accessible WordPress front end built for peak exam-period traffic.

Maintain the institution's web estate on WordPress and Elementor: main portal, event sites, the ENAM and Renejum platforms and email newsletters, checked against eMAG and WCAG.
Kept public-facing platforms highly available by administering the full LAMP stack: cPanel, MySQL tuning, automated backups, SSL and security hardening.
Moved Core Web Vitals into the "Good" threshold by refactoring legacy themes, optimizing assets and adding server-side caching.
