Bio

I am continuously working with WordPress since 2012 and never get tired of it. It’s simply awesome!
I like to consider my self a good developer and I will always find a way to make people happy.
I put price on quality and I like my work to be clean, fast and reliable.

My latest achievement with volunteering for WordPress causes is participating on the photography team, for the WordCamp Europe Conference 2024. (https://www.flickr.com/photos/wceu/albums/72177720318147089)

For the past years I’ve been working with Dekode and I would like to say that Dekode is one of the best employers on the market.
They are very professional and they care about their employees health and life/work balance.
More than that, they are eager to give back to WordPress through their developers, every time the opportunity arrives, by either contributing directly to the code or giving free days to the employees involved in WordCamps and meetups.

Interests

I love to go outside, in nature and take photos. Photography transformed from a simple hobby to a job I do from time to time.
Beside this, I like doing my own meals, gardening and trying to sustain myself with home made food. I think it is important to have a healthy food on the table.
I like science-fiction movies and books. I love playing with my kids and I try to find enough time for them.

WordPress Origin Story

All started with me being unsatisfied with my job. I was working as meteorologist in that time. I always liked to get my hands dirty with different IT stuff (like assembling my PC, installing different operating systems, handling windows registry entries, etc.) but always thought that I can do more.
It was the beginning of 2011 that changed my work and life in the same time. I had a mentor who thought me about HTML, CSS, WordPress and a little jQuery. I took some books and the printed version of the WordPress Codex and started working on my first site.
I made a design, then transferred it to HTML and then, using the Codex, transferred it into WordPress theme. The design took me a bit of time, about 4 months because i had to use tools I never used before, like Photoshop or alternatives of it. But transforming the design into HTML and then into WordPress theme took me only four months.
After that I thought I can do better and started looking for other platforms ot build my sites on. I don’t know why but all of them had some cons that I couldn’t accept and came back to WordPress, because WordPress makes everything much easier then it would be without it.
