This Is My URL (@thisismyurl) – WordPress user profile

Bio

WordPress engineer in Fort Erie, Ontario. I work with media, education, and government teams on the parts of a build that are easy to skip — performance under load, technical SEO past the easy wins, publishing workflows editors don’t fight. On the web since 1996. WordCamp speaker; organiser, Niagara Falls 2023.

Interests

WordPress plugin development, technical SEO, performance optimization, site architecture, content workflows, accessibility, and open source contribution.

If you want a tighter version with a stronger community/contributor angle, use this Interests line:
Core contribution, plugin development, technical SEO, WordPress performance, accessibility, documentation, and mentoring.

WordPress Origin Story

I came to WordPress through real-world problem solving, not theory. I was helping businesses improve slow, hard-to-manage websites and kept seeing the same pattern: content teams were blocked, technical debt was growing, and SEO performance suffered because the publishing workflow was fragile. WordPress gave me a way to fix the system, not just the symptom.

That work became This Is My URL. Today I focus on practical WordPress implementation: technical SEO, performance, secure architecture, and tooling that teams can maintain after launch. I build and refine plugins, create repeatable publishing standards, and teach teams how to make better decisions without unnecessary complexity. My goal is simple: make WordPress easier to run, safer to scale, and better at driving measurable outcomes.
