Alex Sirota (@asirota) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I have a traditional computer science background and I grew up in the Detroit suburbs. I graduated from the University of Michigan, and after working for Apple Computer, Inc. in the mid 90s out of school I was recruited to come work for a small software development company called EveryWare Development. We made a piece of software called Tango that connected the web to relational databases. There I worked on an analytics product called Bolero, a precursor to Google Analytics. I also was product manager at an email marketing company called FloNetwork, that was a precursor to email marketing companies like MailChimp. After burning out in the startup life, I worked for the Ontario Government as team lead for over a decade and in 2014 started my own consulting business called NewPath Consulting.

I am married with 2 children, a son and a daughter. For fun I play the trumpet in a band called Tuesday Horns in Toronto.

Interests

playing the trumpet, riding bikes, spending time outdoors, watching sci fi movies

WordPress Origin Story

We were looking for a solution that starts simple and allows a very long runway for growth. We find that small business customers who use WordPress start out thinking that it is easy and powerful, which is true. But very quickly once you start adding plugins and experimenting with themes the system outgrows the inexperienced. There are many things you can do with WordPress, but many need help to get to beyond the “brouchure ware” website and that’s where we come in.
