I’ve been tinkering with web technologies my entire life, and started my career as a web developer in 2015. Since then, I have built dozens of WordPress plugins, scratch-made websites, and web applications.

WCUS 2024 Feed

  • Coming back to Twitter after seeing everyone in 3D, hearing their voices, their mannerisms…

    It just really changes how I see their content. I hear it in their voice, their tone, their mannerisms now.

    Makes a big difference.

    What I Got Out of WCUS 2024

    A list of key events that happened during WCUS 2024

  • A few photos I never shared for WCUS.

  • The worst part about WordCamp is coming back with a brain full of things to do, discuss, and progress, yet simultaneously being absolutely wiped out and unable to actually do those things.

  • The good thing about doing a red eye is that you sleep on the plane. The bad thing about a red eye is that you sleep on the plane. I’m exhausted. What a week.

  • Flying home. Trying to decide if a red eye is awful or magical.

  • I Participated In a WordPress Marketing Discussion at WCUS

    I participated in a marketing meeting with other WordPress contributors where we discussed the challenges we see, and discussed how we can approach marketing WordPress to ensure its future remains in good standing.

  • I think the mobile app is one of the most important focuses for WordPress’ future. I’ve met many young professionals who view WordPress as “really old”. Our competitors aren’t just Wix and Squarespace – it’s TikTok, X and other mobile first publishing platforms.

  • I’ve never done this before, but I’m convinced this is the perfect user experience. No menus. Few decisions. Just “I want that”.

  • REALLY stoked about the upcoming changes to the WordPress mobile app. REST API support, custom post types, and native block editing experience are much-needed upgrades to the ecosystem. Mobile is so underutilized and I think it’s one of WordPress’ biggest weaknesses.
