Bio/Description

Long before I started at Automattic I was a WordPress ninja coding up Plugin updaters and Theme installers, I’ve been a Core Commiter since Feb 2010, and working at Automattic since Nov 2011.

I live out in the countryside of Australia and travel the world in my spare time.

Interests

WordPress, PHP, Programming
