I came to WordPress through client work: real businesses with real consequences attached to every hour of downtime. Early projects meant building and maintaining platforms for clients who genuinely couldn’t afford things to break: a publishing company in Massachusetts, e-commerce stores managing thousands of orders, and nonprofits with no technical staff of their own.

That pressure taught me to go deeper than the surface. Conducting Lighthouse performance audits. Writing Python scripts to handle 18,000+ record migrations that crashed every plugin I tried. Debugging silent database corruption from character encoding conflicts. Responding to a live malware infection, identifying a C2 agent that was reinstalled by the attacker after my first removal pass, serving cloaked content to Googlebot while real visitors were silently redirected.

Every time a plugin, import tool, or theme builder hit a wall, I had to solve it at the layer below. That’s what pushed me into WordPress core: hooks, direct SQL, WP-CLI, the filesystem and eventually into building my own tooling.

I’m here to keep contributing tools that reduce friction for developers working under real-world constraints.
