    Bio

    I’m a Core Committer with a focus on block-related APIs in WordPress. I’m the principal author of the Block Hooks feature and the current maintainer of the Block Bindings API. I also help out with reviewing and landing patches related to the HTML API, and have participated in the early development stages of the Interactivity API’s server-side directive processing.

    I was one of the Editor Tech leads for WordPress 6.1 and have been a Core Committer since 2022. I’m also a frequent contributor to the Gutenberg plugin, which often serves as a testing ground for new features before their inclusion in Core.
