Tailwind CSS Purge Pipeline in WP Theme
Utility-first styling with an automated build purge that produces a stylesheet of about 40 KB with no inline CSS, in line with the councils’ visual identity manuals.
Case study · GovTech portals for technicians’ councils
CRTs PR & SC
Complete implementation and customization of the official institutional portals for the Regional Councils of Industrial Technicians of Paraná (CRT-PR) and Santa Catarina (CRT-SC), delivering GovTech reliability, automated self-healing architecture and citizen-first digital public services.
The challenge
CRT-04 was split into two councils, Paraná and Santa Catarina, and each needed a new layout and a new structure running on WordPress.
Key Architecture & Engineering Decisions
Code-First CPTs & Git-Versioned ACF JSON
Custom Post Types (news, events, councilors, hero slider) registered strictly in code without bloated third-party plugins, synced via Git-versioned ACF JSON for deterministic cross-environment deployments.
Self-Healing Architecture & Auto-Provisioning
Resilient PHP bootstrapping routines that inspect and auto-generate essential pages, taxons, navigation menus and contact forms upon theme activation or updates, preventing runtime breakages in production.
Public Citizen Services & SINCETI Integration
Robust public service workflows (Educational Institutions registration, Public Ombudsman, Report/Denunciation channels with IMask.js input validation), GovernmentOrganization Schema.org semantic data, and seamless federal redirection to the national SINCETI platform.
