    Bio

    Founder and CTO Painless Analytics, AWS Columbus User Group organizer, AWS Community Builder, Software Architect, SCRUM Product Owner, Innovator, Entrepreneur.

    I have been developing WordPress themes, plugins, and hosting solutions since 2005. A bulk of my development experience includes PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Bootstrap, jQuery, React, NodeJS, and C/C++. I have extensive experience with Ubuntu, Amazon Web Services, and architected many web applications including a Podcast Statistics reporting system, podcast publishing system, commerce portal, and an auto-scaling WordPress web hosting service. Today I manage and develop solutions with WordPress, Laravel, and React/NodeJS and manage the deployment of applications on AWS with a focus to maintain highly available, scalable websites and applications.

    Interests

    Computers, Cars, Family, Friends, History, Technology and Travel.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Started using WordPress in April of 2005, created my first theme later that summer. In 2006 I started making plugins for personal use. From 2007-2021 I architected and developed the PowerPress podcasting plugin. I have contributed bug fixes and code to other WordPress plugins as well as developed a number of other public plugins including HTML Sitemap (not XML) and Static Feed (emulated Movable Type’s feed.xml). I have also authored many other plugins for internal use for WordPress Web Hosting (clear cache and domain mapping features), Automotive Formulas plugin for car math (calculate compression ratio, etc.), Assessment system plugin for a professor to test incoming students, and more recently a plugin to set environment settings based on hostname for Pantheon.io hosted WordPress websites. More is coming soon!
