Bio

Web designer, and director of EggCup Web Design Ltd. I’ve got a lot of love for WordPress and the amazing community based around it. Are you struggling with a slow WordPress site? I can help!

Building custom WordPress themes gets me fired up, and have even ventured into the murky depths of building my own plugins. I have a great deal of experience working with PHP and MySQL in general, having worked as a web developer on a high-profile question and answer website.

WordPress Origin Story

My backstory? Who, me?!

I originally got into self-hosted WordPress development when I was handed the keys to a collection of commercial websites my employer at the time had asked me to manage. I took to the system like a duck to water, and, as a PHP/MySQL developer I soon got into building custom themes and plugins.
