    Bio

    Developer by profession, perpetual tinkerer by nature. I like building WordPress plugins, exploring new technologies, and understanding how complex systems work – whether that’s software, AI, or the everyday things most people never stop to think about. I’m happiest when I’m learning, building, and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.

    Interests

    WordPress, Gutenberg, Plugin Development, Open Source, PHP, JavaScript, AI, Systems Thinking, Linux, Cooking, Coffee

    WordPress Origin Story

    It was 2007. The global financial crisis was just around the corner, and I was already working as a web developer. In my spare time, I was tinkering with blogs, themes, and this new thing called WordPress. I had no idea that a side curiosity would turn into a 20-year career of building plugins, solving strange bugs, and occasionally asking CSS why it hates me.
