    I am a WordPress developer since 2017, started using WP since 2016.
    I run an agency and small independent Saas company Middleshelf Studios revolving around using WordPress, Headless technologies and NodeJS to build small to medium size apps for my end clients.

    I am an avid reader, nerd and sci-fi buff, and am a proud member of the Australian WordPress community

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started my Development career with Shopify and flat HTML/CSS/JS sites and tinkered with migrating some sites from Dreamhost in 2018. In 2018 I pivoted to WordPress full time and haven’t looked back since.
    WordPress has been a pivotal part of my own personal growth and professional career and I couldn’t think of a better technology to work on for the rest of my career as well.
