    Bio

    I specialize in researching and developing new hosting products and improvements to existing hosting products with an emphasis on providing a better experience for self-hosted WordPress websites. I also develop internal applications using WordPress as an application programming framework for pure PHP applications and for single-page JavaScript applications using WordPress as a customized API and authentication provider.

    In my spare time, I study programming and software development. I also do taekwondo with my wonderful wife. I really like to learn new things, and I greatly enjoy creating software and scripts.

    Interests

    WordPress, JavaScript (SPAs, Node.js, user scripts, Angular, React), Python, taekwondo, programming, philosophy, software development, performance benchmarking, server configuration building, technology, intellectual property law

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started working with WordPress when I started in entry-level technical support at InMotion Hosting. Through my time in support, I learned how to use and to support WordPress as a normal admin user. I really came to know WordPress, though, when I started writing plugins for internal applications in my spare time while I was in technical support. That work turned out to be really successful, and it opened up more opportunities for me that eventually enabled me to work full time on building the best experience for WordPress users on InMotion Hosting’s platforms and on using WordPress to provide the best tools and applications for internal users.
