PHP, WordPress, WooCommerce

From the beginning I created my own theme. I wanted to tinker with everything and was happy to find out WordPress did not prevent that. I created a lot of functionality on top of it, mostly for my personal use. Like a database of books I had read and was going to read.

While working on my day job as a WordPress developer, I did some freelancing on the side to build a couple of websites on WordPress. That made me learn WordPress even better.

WordPress was also used on some trivial projects on my day jobs. Install, customize lightly and forget. Latter one being a bad idea, now that I think of it.

My day job at the time was a lot about creating a custom CMS for a media company and later for a web development company. (At the time, that made some sense. Now it does not.)

WordPress gave me ideas. For four years, working with different CMSs and other projects, I took a lot ideas out of WordPress and used them with commercial projects.
