Andy Mercer (@kelderic) – WordPress user profile

Bio

Hi there! My name is Andy. I lead teams that build tools that are easy and fun to use, both as a visual level for end users and at a code level for other developers.

My areas of focus over the past few years have been WordPress, Infor Syteline, Salesforce, and Windows GUI applications using WinUI3.

Interests

Programming, Science Fiction, Hiking, Gaming.

WordPress Origin Story

I taught myself HTML/CSS one summer when I was bored, and ended up building a few sites for friends and acquaintances. I eventually began teaming up with friend who happens to be a graphic designer. She had worked as an intern with a web design company which used WordPress, and she convinced a reluctant me that WordPress was a much better way to go than writing static pages.

That was a decade ago now (wow). I still use WordPress for some things. I use it to power several applications at my job, and I still maintain several public plugins.
