    Bio

    Scottish WordPress performance expert based in Greece, founder of WP Intense, creator of Scalability Pro, Super Speedy Search and Super Speedy Filters amongst other plugins.

    I love making things faster and I love talking at WordCamps.

    Interests

    WordPress Origin Story

    Left Skyscanner in 2011 to build my own business, eventually found my way to WordPress to build out affiliate websites but found WooCommerce to be slow at scale.

    Solved the various problems with custom code and eventually turned this custom code into the plugins available on my website.
