Bio

I’ve been building websites since March 1996, when going online involved dial-up noises, considerable patience and temporarily making the telephone unusable.

I moved to WordPress in 2005 and co-founded Code Snippets Pro in 2015. My work has changed a little since those early days. I still create things for the web, but I spend more time asking the awkward and useful question: “Why?”

Clients often arrive with a solution already in mind. I help uncover what they actually need, then turn that into a clear mission. The answer might be a website, a community, a media strategy or simply a better way to manage projects and time. Occasionally, it is even the thing they originally asked for.

In 2016, I became Elementor’s Global Community Manager. I held that role for exactly ten years and three days, because after a decade you may as well count properly.

Today, my attention belongs to the Code Snippets team and the products and services we are building together. That includes Code Snippets, Code Snippets Cloud, TranslateWP, YOLO and several other ideas currently waiting for sensible names.

Interests

Outside of web design and community work, my interests are wide-ranging. I’m fascinated by how the human mind works, especially in cognition and psychology. Family is central to my life. I’m a husband and a father of two incredible kids, our time together is what matters most to me.

Self-improvement drives me, constantly seeking ways to grow. Whether through reading, trying new foods, or exploring the universe, I find joy in life’s diverse experiences. My interests reflect my belief in embracing every chance to learn, evolve and share what I have gained., Building stuff that are so convenient it makes people smile

WordPress Origin Story

I started using WordPress in 2005, shortly after the release of WordPress 2.0, “Duke Ellington.” Before that, I built websites by hand. It worked, but so does digging a swimming pool with a teaspoon.

WordPress changed how I approached web design. It gave my small agency a faster and more flexible way to build dynamic websites, but the real attraction was possibility. Suddenly, we could spend less time repeating ourselves and more time solving interesting problems.

Then, in 2016, I discovered Elementor. I quickly saw its potential and began working closely with the team and its community. In 2019, I officially joined Elementor, although by then it felt more like finally receiving the paperwork for a job I had already been doing.

WordPress gave me the tools to build better websites. Elementor introduced me to a worldwide community of creators, professionals and wonderfully opinionated people. Over time, that community became my tribe.

After exactly ten years and three days as Elementor’s Global Community Manager, I moved on in 2026 to focus fully on Code Snippets. WordPress is still where I build, experiment and occasionally break things in the name of progress. The tools have changed considerably since 2005. The curiosity has not.
