I have been facsinated with what we now called IT since I was little. It started with building computers, learning the operation systems and then onto Internet technologies and web development.

WordPress Origin Story

I started with WordPress around 2007 when I decided to try to start two blogs, one relating to music and another relating to tech. At the same time, I was building sites with Joomla. However, with certain earth shaking enhancements that came to WP, I changed direction and started builidng in WordPress and haven’t stopped. Around 2018 I started attending meetups and got involved with planning the first WordCamp Montclair 2019. Since then, I’ve been trying to be the best contributor to the community that I can be.
