    Bio

    I’m Danny – I specialize in enterprise-level hosting, AWS, infrastructure, and solutions architecture. I have worked with WordPress for over 15 years for WooThemes, WooCommerce, Automattic, and enterprise clients like Siemens.

    I own a 3D printing/scanning and rapid prototyping company.

    I like tv/movies, games (board, card, and video), and making things.

    Interests

    Filmmaking
    Prop Making
    Gaming (video, board, cards, miniatures, all of it)
    Gadgets and Gizmos
    3D Printing and Design

    WordPress Origin Story

    After an initial “pshh, BLOGGING” experience, I suddenly had the need to push live content in updates from a client I couldn’t trust with the actual site files. After research, struggling, tears, and a doomed Adobe product later, I embedded my first WordPress loop. Within the month, I’d converted three sites to WordPress and can’t imagine ever going back.
