Back in 2010, I was assigned my first WordPress project. I didn’t know it at the time, but that small project would shape my entire career.

I quickly fell in love with WordPress, not just as a tool for building websites, but as a platform that gave developers, businesses, and creators the freedom to build almost anything.

I started out as a WordPress developer, building and customizing websites, themes, and plugins. By 2013, I had moved into WordPress support, where I discovered another side of the work I genuinely enjoyed: understanding problems, troubleshooting them, and helping people get their websites working again.

Since then, WordPress has been a constant thread throughout my career. More than 90% of the projects I’ve worked on have been WordPress-based, and for more than a decade I’ve worked closely with WordPress products and their users.

Today, my career revolves around WordPress, but my interest has grown beyond simply writing code. I enjoy solving the messy problems that happen around technology: debugging, customer support, technical communication, understanding user behaviour, and figuring out why something isn’t working in the first place.

What started as my first WordPress project in 2010 eventually became a career I never really planned.

And after all these years, I’m still fascinated by the little piece of software that changed the direction of my professional life.
