Bio

Hi, I’m Jim (F13Dev), in my day job I work as an Educational Technologist building and maintatining a bespoke learning management system using WordPress as a framework, for a company that provides training to thousands of teachers globally every year.

Not only is WordPress development my day job, it is also a hobby. In my spare time I maintain a selection of WordPress plugins, some publically available and others highly bespoke; as used on sites such as RetroCrypt.

Interests

Web development (mainly backend). Photography. Vintage computers… I may have a few!

WordPress Origin Story

1994: I discovered QBasic, my journey began with building text adventures at the age of 8.

2004: I launched a small online eCommerce site offering verbatim coppies of various Linux distributions and support for their use and installation. This formed part of my introduction to PHP and web application development. During this time I built/modified plugins and themes for osCommerce and ZenCart.

2009: I released the first version of LunarCMS, a simple content management system and blogging engine. This is now considered abandonware, although some versions can still be found on my GitHub.

2014: I started studying a BSc in Computer Science with the Open University as a way to change career. Despite my self employed ventures involving technology and code; my day job was retail (it paid the bills).

2015: I started tinkering with WordPress plugin and theme development, starting slowly and eventually releasing a series of plugins based around various API’s. These plugins are still available in the plugins section but for the best part have been abandoned and replaced with modern equivelents.
