    Bio

    I’m an American writer in Asia who wears many hats.

    I learned piano as a kid, studied Bible in college, and currently do podcasting, web contenting, cloud control, and brand design. I like golf, water, speed, music, kung fu, art, and stories.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started out looking for a way to blog while keeping copyright ownership of my content. Then, I stumbled on WordPress. The next seven days I went without any sleep, eating only one delivery pizza each day, constantly pawing through WordPress plugins, themes, and settings to make a website work. I slept two days straight, then went straight for another five until my first blog was as I wanted it. That was WordPress 3.

    Since, I learned Linux while automating VPS servers to host WordPress better, then taught myself PHP over 8 months while coding my own advertising network. When I launched the ad network in early 2020, I tackled my first WordPress plugin over two weeks to link WordPress blogs to the ad network’s API. It’s been an amazing eleven years and I’m just getting started.

    I only code only vanilla and only on Ubuntu so far, but Arch is on my list… Yes, Arch is on my list… (2020)

    As of 2021, I finally started coding on Manjaro (Arch stack), but I still only code vanilla.
