    WordPress Origin Story

    In 2010, I created my first blog using Blogger, two years later I fell in love with WordPress and never looked back.
    In 2016, I quit my job to build WordPress sites for awesome people. One year later, I became an IT manager at an NGO.
    In 2018, I joined Automattic because I wanted to work for a company related to WordPress with a strong culture and values.
    In 2025, I became an indie developer and moved my focus to Swift/SwiftUI.
    Presently, my focus is at the intersection of automation, intentional productivity, and web publishing.
