    Bio

    WordPress theming, PHP customization, and site management since 2010; plugin development since 2021.

    Interests

    Irish and Scottish culture (music/dance/decorative patterns), live music, secure and performant software

    WordPress Origin Story

    I have a strong interest in supporting nonprofits, and they are always trying to make the most of limited resources. WordPress delivers a lot in proportion to the spend. So it made sense as a CMS for my clients fifteen years ago, and still does.
