    Bio

    I am aeronautical engineer, currently working for a large technology firm in Athens, Greece. Since 15 I deal with programming in my free time. For the last 3 years I have focused almost entirely on WordPress and plugin programming. I find it very challenging, but at the same time very amusing, due to the immediate results that you get when creating something good and especially the interaction with people from all over the world. My vision is to form a team of crazy enthousiasts and create the new breakthrough in the Web.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I got involved with WordPress programming almost 3 years ago, when I was creating my own WordPress website. I wanted to use a plugin for letting my visitors upload files to my website, however I could not find one that satisfied me. So, I made one, initially called Inline Upload! After some programming, I thought it would be a good idea to publish it, just for experimentation. Interaction with users gave me a motive to continue developing the plugin. After one year, it was a mature plugin. After learning a lot about WordPress and PHP-JS-CSS programming, I decided to re-write it from scratch. So it obtained a new name, WordPress File Upload. Now this plugin counts more than 20k lines of personal code and it comes to 2 version, Free and Professional. My vision for WordPress File Upload plugin is to become the most popular file upload plugin for WordPress and the underlying technology an industry standard on file uploads.
