    Bio

    AI Systems Architect, creator of the TechDex AI Framework. Entrepreneur, programmer, marketer, author. I work across many fields and hold many titles, but in all of them, I do the same thing… I combine my technical background with my business and marketing experience to turn complex problems into simple systems that actually work.

    Interests

    Whatever catches my fancy.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I was building blogs and forums long before WP existed. Part of what I did was create CMS solutions for companies in Perl/Mason, (still do). But as WP became more popular and widely adopted, I started maintaining them for clients, fixing their installations, doing hack remediation, etc.

    Now? I’m building plugins for it, but not for the sake of building them. I’m doing it because there is an actual need for something or a problem to solve, which usually comes from customers complaining about something, and me not finding a simple solution in the repository.
