    Bio

    Previously built and ran a web agency for many years, delivering 500+ websites for clients ranging from small businesses to mid-sized companies. Over last 25 years, I’ve worked with clients from 9 countries.

    Over time, my role evolved from hands-on front-end builder to strategic director — defining digital product direction, overseeing development, and translating client goals into working web systems.

    Core expertise developed:
    → Front-end architecture and HTML/CSS development
    → Business development and project management
    → UX strategy and conversion-focused design thinking
    → Vendor and team coordination across design, development, and content

    Interests

    Poetry/Songwriting, Karaoke, Trekking

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started dabbling with WordPress back in 2010 when many of my clients wanted a CMS (dynamic) web solution instead of static HTML site. I started reading about WordPress online and began with its famous 5 minute installation on my localhost. Haven’t looked behind since then!
