WordPress Origin Story

I discovered WordPress in 2005 when I needed a website and didn’t want to hand-code everything from scratch. What started as a way to build a blog quickly turned into a career. I got hooked on the plugin ecosystem, first using plugins, then building them, and eventually making it my full-time focus. I joined the Easy Digital Downloads team in its early days and have been leading the project ever since. WordPress gave me a career, a community, and a platform to build on. I try to give back whenever I can through core contributions, forum support, and speaking at WordCamps.
