Scott Kingsley Clark (@sc0ttkclark) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I’m a Senior Software Engineer for Pagely/GoDaddy and I’m the Lead Developer of the Pods Framework plugin (pods.io)

Interests

Spending time with my family, playing music, working with WordPress, and helping out the open source community!

WordPress Origin Story

I was working with my own custom CMS when I got a job at an SEO place doing development and their CMS of choice was WordPress. The plugin and action/filter system was great and I was hooked! That was 2007, and it wasn’t long before I was releasing plugins and collaborating on open projects with people.
