Benito Lopez

Hey there 👋, I’m Benito. I’m a software engineer with over 10 years of experience and a solid front-end and back-end development background. I’m passionate about solving problems and constantly learning.

I work across the full stack to build web applications and tools that solve real problems. While I have deep expertise in various technologies, my work spans frontend, backend, and everything in between. I've been working remotely for 10+ years, which has taught me to be self-directed and communicate clearly.

WordPress

Over the past decade, I've built a significant presence in the WordPress ecosystem. I've created themes, plugins, and custom solutions that power thousands of websites worldwide. Throughout my WordPress journey, I achieved Elite Author status on Envato's marketplace (Lollum Themes) and now I'm part of the team behind Uncode, one of the most popular WordPress themes on the market. I mainly deal with the backend, React (building components for the Block Editor) and the development of advanced and custom features for WooCommerce.

Projects and Selected Works

  • Uncode - Top seller WordPress theme. I mainly deal with the backend, React (building components for the Block Editor) and the development of advanced and custom features for WooCommerce.
  • WP Hotelier - A WordPress booking plugin for building hotel websites.
  • Hotel Datepicker - A pure JavaScript date range picker for hotels or booking websites. It was tricky but fun to develop!
  • ssnipp - Minimalist and private code snippet sharer written in Go. I use it to share snippets with my clients.

Personal

Born in Switzerland, raised in Spain, and living in Italy, I'm a father of two with diverse interests. Music plays a significant role in my life — I enjoy playing guitar, particularly exploring jazz, experimental, noise, electronic, and ambient genres. I also spend time reading books and comics.

Mathematics is another big passion, and after taking a few years away from formal education, I decided to return to academia and am now pursuing a BSc in Mathematics.
