    Bio

    Long time WordPress contributor based in Austin, TX, with over a decade of experience in the industry. Throughout his career, he has worked in various roles, from agency life to his current position as a Software Engineer helping build ACF at WP Engine. Anthony is passionate about contributing to the WordPress ecosystem and building tools that push the boundaries of the web. As a committer and maintainer of the Media component, Anthony aims to consistently help the project each and every week.
    A recent focus has been around exploring the potential of 3D content in WordPress, which led to the development of the Three Object Viewer (3OV) plugin to enable anyone to create 3D content in the Block Editor. This project pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with WordPress in the emerging spatial web.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I worked at an agency as a teenager and was told to get familiar with WordPress (2.8).
    Got out of agency life and focused on the hosting world in 2014. Now I’m here helping where I can. 🙂
