    Bio

    I spent the first half of my career living in the US, working on the systems / DevOps side of things, dabbling in systems design, development, automation and enterprise architecture.

    After moving back home to the Maldives, I worked as a full-stack dev (Rubyist) for a couple of years before transitioning to an account management role at Automattic.

    Currently, I’m an Engineering Manager on the Customer Success Operations team at WordPress VIP (Enterprise division of Automattic), working alongside the awesome folks at Automattic.

    Interests

    Scuba Diving, Fishing, Wakeboarding, Snorkeling, Hiking, Traveling, Cooking, Eating – I’m up for whatever!

    WordPress Origin Story

    My first run-in with WordPress was back in 2007 when some friends and I decided to start a consulting business on the side. Since my focus was on Enterprise technology, I worked with products such as AEM before joining the WordPress VIP team.

    It’s exciting how WordPress has now become the choice for large Enterprises as well.
