    Bio

    From 1985 to 2006, I worked as a full-time employee. After quitting my job, I started providing website development and related services on my own under the name “studio317.” In 2020, I launched an additional brand called “cuerda,” where I now focus on developing WordPress plugins for news media.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started building websites about 20 years ago and actively tried many different CMSs. Among them, WordPress quickly became the one I trusted most, because bugs, features, and security are improved frequently and continuously. To help as many people as possible benefit from this amazing platform, I continue to develop WordPress plugins.
