Bio

I started in 2014 with WordPress. I manage WordPress (Multisite) hosting networks, I contribute to WordPress Core, I design custom themes, and I create free SEO plugins.

With everything I do, I focus on performance, scalability, security, privacy by design, and I aim for seamless integrations.

My goal is to prove that you can contribute full-time to WordPress without exploiting its users. I believe I already achieved that; people just haven’t noticed it yet.

Interests

WordPress Origin Story

In 2014, I created a community website using bbPress. Everything was slow and sluggish, and as a perfectionist who’s overambitious, I quickly learned how to resolve that. This endeavor led me to start a hosting company, join WPMUdev’s community, and eventually develop custom solutions, which ultimately kicked off my full-time WordPress plugin development career.
