    Bio

    Been working with WordPress for a long time now. Started back when the choice of CMS wasn’t obvious, tried a few alternatives, and ended up staying here. Not sure if it was the platform or the people – probably both.

    I run a few WordPress-powered projects of my own and slowly find myself getting pulled into contributing to the platform itself. Nothing dramatic, just fixing things that catch my eye.

    The community is what makes it different. Hard to explain if you haven’t been around it, but it’s real.

    Interests

    WordPress, PHP, Open Source

    WordPress Origin Story

    Been around long enough that the early days are a bit of a blur. Picked up WordPress at some point, built some things, and at some point realised I’d stopped looking at alternatives altogether.
