WordPress Origin Story

I first became involved with testing the pre-WordPress CMS in the early 2000s, which subsequently became the CMS we know and love. I’ve been developing Themes and Plugins for WordPress since 2004 and I am currently a partner and full-stack developer at WordPress agency Say Hello GmbH.
