    Bio

    Engineering Director @Automattic. Procrastinator. Nitpicker. Obsessed with detail. Fond of elegant solutions for complex problems.

    Interests

    WordPress, as well as debugging & fixing issues, while playing guitar or piano or reading a nice book.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I met WordPress in one rainy day of 2006, but vivid, warm sunshine has been glowing on my lawn ever since.
