Joey Kudish (@jkudish) – WordPress user profile

Bio

Your technical partner. I build software with founders, executive teams, and developers, from the first idea through launch and the work that follows.

WordPress Origin Story

I got into WordPress around the release of version 2.1 in 2007. At the time (and to this day), WP felt like a revolutionary platform that enabled easy content management. You mean I didn’t have to code every individual page by hand anymore?

WordPress inspired me to make a career on the web and has powered countless projects I’ve worked on over the past 20+ years, including too many client sites to count, several businesses, stints working at Automattic and Metorik, and more recently in my work helping businesses perform well on AI search queries.
