My Story

Finding WordPress changed my career and life.

Back in 2012 I wrote my first WordPress plugin and well and truly caught the WordPress bug.

The premium version of that plugin started to make money so at the start of 2013 I quit my IT contract in London and started on a journey of WordPress product development, freelancing, and getting involved in the WordPress community.

I've never looked back.

I'm involved in multiple projects including WordPress plugins, a WordPress focussed SaaS, a WordPress community news site, and a WordPress podcast.
