    WordPress Origin Story

    I started working with WordPress as a natural extension of my work as a developer and digital entrepreneur.

    Over time, I became increasingly interested in how content is structured, indexed and discovered online. This led me to explore the evolution of search, from traditional SEO to AI-driven search systems.

    Today, I focus on building tools and strategies that help websites adapt to this new landscape, where artificial intelligence plays a central role in how information is understood and delivered.

    This journey led me to create GeoPress, a plugin designed to improve how WordPress content is read and processed by AI systems.
