WordPress Origin Story

I got involved in WordPress back in 2015 as a freelancer – web developer.

Later, 2016 I joined a Munich based company as a WordPress developer, focused on front-end. In about year and a half I got promoted to a team-lead position.

Fast forward 2020, I joined another Munich company as a Head of Development, again with WordPress, doing WooCommerce sites.

In 2024 I joined NitroPack, as a Senior Software Engineer responsible entirely for the plugin, few months later NitroPack got acquired by WPEngine.

Currently, working as Senior Software Engineer in WPEngine, maintaining and developing the NitroPack plugin.
