    WordPress Origin Story

    I started my journey as a web developer using Joomla in 2010. In time, there was a steady buzz about WordPress. I figured it was just another CMS and didn’t dive in at the time.

    Fast-Forward 2015, I got involved in a WordPress project for over a year. This was when it hit me! WordPress is code poetry, code infused with love, quality time, and efficient engineering. A very stable open source project with a huge community, and exclusive support from partners providing a scalable long-term solution that will outlive many newer frameworks.

    I am now focused on WordPress and how I can make my contribution to the community.
