Do we know each other?

If you are a friend of WordPress development, there is a great chance to know each other already. My name is Ivan Popov and I am a diehard WordPress fan, developer and community member since 2009.

I believe in the concept that there is not a single website functionality that cannot be achieved using WordPress.

I started doing websites since 2003 and my area of knowledge is HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL. I am a fan of “less is more” – I love clean code and simple design.
