WordPress Origin Story

My journey in the WordPress community began in 2017, but to better understand how I got here, let me tell you a bit about my background.

Since 2016, I have been working as a freelancer, designing and managing web projects for clients who want to grow their online presence. I use a data-driven approach, meaning I don’t design anything without first having specific data provided by an analyst. This methodology allows me to better justify my design decisions and offer conversion-oriented solutions.

As I delved deeper into the world of web design, I began searching for information and resources about WordPress. To learn more about this platform, I started taking courses and investigating how to do certain things in WordPress. That’s when I discovered the WordPress meetup in Madrid.

I decided to attend my first WordCamp in April 2017. This event marked a turning point in my professional life. Even though I went alone and didn’t know many people, I dared to participate in Contributor Day, specifically at the translations table led by Fernando Tellado. That was my first serious contact with the WordPress community.

A few weeks later, I attended a talk at the Meetup in Collado Villalba and realized that I also had something to contribute. So, the following month, I gave a talk at the Meetup about workation (working while on vacation). Since then, I have been fully involved, giving talks and helping to organize events.

In the WordPress community, I have found a family. I have made incredible friends and had the opportunity to collaborate with people I admire. In 2017, I met Ibon Azkoitia, who organized a WordPress retreat in Chiclana. It was at that event where I also met Pablo Moratinos, with whom I now have the podcast “Un billete a Chattanooga,” which has been on air since 2019.

In addition to being a speaker at many WordCamps and having the pride of being the fiveth person in the world with the most talks uploaded to WordPress TV, I have contributed to various teams within the community, from plugin development to Design, Photos, and Translations.

My visibility in the community led me to become a brand ambassador for a WordPress specialized hosting provider: Piensa Solutions.

What motivates me most to dedicate so much time to the WordPress community is my love for what I do. Yes, it’s true that my business indirectly benefits from my participation, but the real reason is that I immensely enjoy being part of this community. Helping others, constantly learning, and networking are invaluable experiences for me.

This journey in the WordPress community has been incredibly rewarding. I have grown professionally, made lifelong friends, and had the opportunity to contribute to a project that I am truly passionate about. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that when you do what you love and surround yourself with such a fantastic community, success and personal satisfaction are guaranteed.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. See you at the next WordCamp!
