Bio

I’ve been programming since 1998, and have the most fun writing WordPress plugins and plugin add-ons. If you need customization for your WordPress site or for third-party plugins (without changing the core!), I’m your guy.

Interests

WordPress Plugins, Perl, PHP, back-end web coding.

WordPress Origin Story

My first WordPress experience was when I set up my wife’s blog so she could talk about bioidentical hormone replacement therapies. When she landed a partnership with a pharmacy to sell their products online in 2010, I decided to use eShop as the e-commerce platform. As it didn’t support live shipping rates for Canada Post (or any other carrier, for that matter), I decided to write my own add-ons.

And that’s how I got into writing WP plugins. Since then I’ve written several free plugins and even more paid ones, and have been helping clients customize their websites however they need it.
