WordPress Origin Story

I got my start building WordPress sites when I was working for advertising agencies. I’ve built custom WordPress sites for clients, including theme development, custom post types, extending functionality, and content management. I’ve even used WordPress to feed dynamic data to mobile apps using JSON and WP REST APIs.
