    Bio

    Primarily a WordPress developer, I have been working on WordPress powered websites for over 15 years. Largely a backend engineer, I also work on frontend with responsive design, modern CSS and vanilla JS. I attend WordCamps when possible. Frequently found gardening.

    Interests

    REST API, modern CSS, responsive design, vanilla JS, easy UX

    WordPress Origin Story

    Was working at a local regional newspaper who wanted to cover the 2006 Football World Cup and I built a site based on the version of WordPress at the time. That was so successful that it lead to the owners requesting that we rebuild the newspapers own website in WordPress, moving away from a custom built cgi solution. Haven’t looked back since.
