Bio

I am a software developer with over 20 years of experience, specializing in web technologies and custom application development. I began my career in the early 2000s working with ColdFusion and JavaScript, gaining my first professional experience during a work-term at a Fortune 500 company where I developed a strong foundation in scalable, enterprise-level systems.

In 2007, I moved into a startup environment, spending seven years building and maintaining web-based products in fast-paced, agile teams. This experience strengthened my ability to design efficient, maintainable solutions and quickly adapt to evolving requirements.

Since 2014, I have worked as an independent developer and contractor, collaborating with startups and non-profit organizations to deliver tailored web solutions. My work has included developing and customizing WordPress plugins, extending core functionality, and integrating third-party services to meet specific business needs.

I bring a strong focus on clean, maintainable code, performance, and usability, along with the ability to work independently or as part of a distributed team.

WordPress Origin Story

My experience with WordPress began in 2007, when I was tasked with evaluating content management systems for a small startup. I conducted hands-on reviews of Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress, comparing their flexibility, usability, and long-term viability. Based on that analysis, I recommended adopting WordPress as the company’s CMS, and led its initial implementation.

Since then, WordPress has remained a core part of my work. I have completed over 200 WordPress installations and have developed multiple custom plugins to extend core functionality and meet specific business requirements. My experience includes building and maintaining a wide range of sites—from simple brochure websites to large, multi-page platforms—as well as implementing and managing WordPress Multisite environments.

Notably, I contributed to the development of a custom social platform built on WordPress Multisite for a national after-school program, demonstrating the platform’s flexibility at scale.
