herchen (@herchen) – WordPress user profile

Bio

My first job was an HTML forms builder for a local web shop in my hometown in 1996. Learned JavaScript, ASP, PHP and MySQL soon thereafter. Set up bulletin boards and ran a campus goods trading site in college. Fast forward 20+ years and I’m making eCommerce websites for small businesses to help them automate their sales and warehousing systems. And I still get to play with cool code!

WordPress Origin Story

I actually disliked WordPress when I first heard about it, because I used to take pride in building my websites from scratch, with all of the code hand-typed by myself. But then I saw the power of themes and plugins, and once I really started using it, I never turned back. Been a proud WordPress user for many years now!
