    Bio

    Automattic engineer since 2005. Also known as skeltoac.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Blogger didn’t have YYYY-MM-DD as a date formatting option. That was the last straw. I went looking. WordPress was the first thing I tried. I never got around to trying anything else. Themes and plugins and core hacking became my full-time hobby. Months later it became my full-time job.
