WordPress Origin Story

I came across WordPress while developing mobile & responsive CMS applications and found it dominated the market making it hard to break in. Moving on I quickly fell in love with WP and adopted it as my CMS of choice for client projects.

I later joined the Core Team as a Component Maintainer for the Privacy component due to client needs for GDPR solutions at the time.
