    Bio

    Dutch front-ish/back-ish (middle?) end developer struggling to not burn to a crisp in scorching Orlando, Florida.

    Beyond that, just a guy trying to make the internets a better place by making it more accessible.

    WordPress Origin Story

    It involves a long trip and solar radiation. It’s not pretty. While I had dabbled with WordPress before moving to the US in 2012, it hadn’t really gone anywhere until I did and started working for an agency.
