    WordPress Origin Story

    I started working with WordPress in 2010, initially building websites and custom themes for clients.

    Over time, I moved into plugin development and more complex application-level work, where I began focusing on performance, security, and maintainability.

    Today, I build WordPress plugins focused on security, authentication, and developer tooling — including the Aura Security series — with the goal of helping developers identify vulnerabilities early and ship more robust code.
