About Me

I'm a Senior Full Stack Developer with 16+ years of professional experience building scalable web applications. I specialize in modern PHP frameworks, React/Next.js, and AI/LLM integrations.

Currently based in Wellington, NZ, I work with Silverstripe Ltd delivering solutions for government agencies and enterprise clients. My professional journey began in 2008, evolving from traditional web development to modern cloud-native architectures with AI/LLM integration.

I'm passionate about clean code, mentorship, and staying ahead of industry trends. When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring the latest AI tools or playing games on my PS5. View my complete tech journey →

Professional web developer since 2008, delivering quality software solutions for government agencies, enterprise clients, and small businesses.

 
My site Seasons Group definitely appeal to the average person because the layout is so simple but very VERY effective. It is a sparkling site with a perfect look, and someone without any technical background would definitely be glad about it.
Harsh Patel Seasons Group

Deepti Bhardwaj Future Counselors
I contracted Amol to design a webpage for me using Wordpress to showcase a NZ artist's work. He designed a beautiful page (www.pauleyles.co.nz) was professional to work with, hugely patient in adjusting elements until it was right and provided Wordpress training by Skype. I appreciated his expert design skills, timeliness, excellent communication and transparent time-log invoicing method. Highly recommended!
Margaret MacDonald NZ Artist Website
He is about the best I’ve seen at understanding a concept, suggesting solutions, and delivering a excellent final product, with a smile. Could not ask for a better web developer!
Amol Wankhede recently redesigned our website and is just a delight to work with. He was very thorough in figuring out what we wanted and making recommendations appropriate to our budget and timeline. I am so glad we worked with him and wish we had done it sooner!

I met Amol Wankhede in Auckland,New Zealand when we were both studying Graduate Diploma in Information Technology Level 7. Amol Wankhede has proven to be a hard working and dedicated individual in the field and in any other areas he has been involved in. I had the pleasure of working on a project with Amol Wankhede regarding Aircraft Manufacturing Management System, which we presented to our class and received very positive feedback on. Working alongside Amol Wankhede was an inspiring and stimulating experience and I would highly recommend him to any future employer.
