    WordPress Origin Story

    I started using WordPress in 2013 with version 3.5. What began as building plugins and themes for agencies led to managing multisites in higher ed, then architecting headless WordPress applications for a door manufacturer in Florida. Now I’m back home in New York, contributing to Core, sponsored by WP Engine.
