WordPress Origin Story

I started my web development journey in 2008 as a Flash ActionScript developer. It didn’t take long to hit a ceiling — the learning resources were limited, and growth felt almost impossible.

In 2009, I shifted to PHP. It was better, but I kept rebuilding the same things over and over: user systems, content modules, file uploads, basic CRUD operations. After a while, it felt repetitive and dull.

Everything changed when a friend asked me to build a WordPress theme. That was the first time I saw how much WordPress already handled out of the box — things I had been writing from scratch for months. It immediately clicked. The workflow was faster, the ecosystem was richer, and it opened a path that felt meaningful.

From that point on, I moved fully into WordPress plugin development and built my entire career around it. For years, I focused solely on client work and products, never finding the time to contribute back to the community.

That changed in 2025.

This year, I finally stepped into the Make WordPress world — joining Documentation Team meetings, helping with issue triage, contributing to Core testing, submitting my first Core PRs, and now receiving my Core Contributor badge. I am a Core Contributor to WordPress 6.9 & 6.9.1.

Seventeen years later, I can finally say I’m contributing to the platform that shaped my career — and I’m just getting started.
