Dhiren Patel
Web Solutions Architect & Technical Lead

Dhiren Patel

I build enterprise web platforms and AI-powered products that scale without breaking.

12+ years building enterprise web platforms and AI-powered products — from 800K+ daily pageview publishers to 100K+ user architectures.

Currently Technical Lead at Curotec, where I built and lead the WordPress practice, delivering engagements across North America, Canada, and Europe. I build things that scale, perform, and hold up in production without constant intervention.

I’m also an active WordPress.org contributor — author of ShieldScope – Site Security Scanner, a security auditing plugin published in the official plugin directory.

How I Work

Architecture you can ship.
Engineering that holds up after launch.

  • Security and performance are features, not afterthoughts.
  • Allergic to over-engineering. Equally allergic to under-engineering.
  • Ship it, instrument it, learn, refactor.
  • I write docs people actually read.
  • Distributed teams, global timezones, no micromanagement needed.
