Bio

[‘Tactical Bracket Typer @ Automattic’] … husband • father • hacker • Alaskan. I’m a senior software engineer, small business owner, and team leader. I build web-based applications with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, TypeScript, Bash, and other languages.

WordPress Origin Story

I fell in love with WordPress back in 2009. I created several themes and plugins. Some friends joined me and together we started a business and sold them commercially (e.g., s2Member, Comet Cache, and others). Over the years my skills improved, as did my familiarity with the WordPress codebase.
