ArtLung WordPress

I've used WordPress since it was b2. Much of this site— but not this page—is powered by WordPress using a custom theme and plugins that I've written. In 2010, I created a plugin—Open Graph Protocol Tools—still in the WordPress plugin repository. I've enjoyed every WordPress win and suffered every WordPress indignity. I've debugged shortcodes, worked with child themes, used Multisite. Woocommerce, and created themes from scratch. I've been gratified to help people migrate from Blogger FTP to WordPress, and Import Instagram photos to WordPress. And I've tackled the nastiest malware infestations and fixed the most tedious Mojibake problems. Many people dislike WordPress. I like it. (Also, the WordPress CLI is among my favorite development tools).

I've also been working with designers who demand pixel-perfection for a long time. I can turn any design into a theme for WordPress (or any other theming environment, for example Drupal) and love to do so. I've worked with the Adobe Suite (Photoshop mainly) but can adapt to any graphics package available.

I have enjoyed working on several data transformation projects. It's very satisfying turning content hidden in HTML or Excel, or other content management tools and displaying it in WordPress. I'm also comfortable with ongoing processes syncing data on a regular basis; or in creating ongoing API integrations to and from WordPress with the JSON API.

If you'd like to hire me feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
