    WordPress Origin Story

    I started working with WordPress back in 2010 when I was building my first freelance websites. What began as a simple tool for client projects quickly became a full-time passion. Over the years, I moved from building sites to building infrastructure — managing 100+ hosted WordPress installations, developing plugins like AuraWorker, and creating automation tools for agencies. WordPress isn’t just a CMS for me, it’s the foundation of everything we do at Digitizer.
