Csaba Varszegi
I am a WordPress enthousiast and a JavaScript lover. I work since last year as a frontend and WordPress developer as “LittleBigThings”, mostly creating WordPress websites. I have found WordPress in 2013 and contributed since in the forums, as a member of the theme review theme, as a WordCamp organizer and to the Twenty Seventeen default theme in WordPress 4.7. I love the idea of “open source”, the WordPress’ philosophy and community. Oh yes, I am a minimalist who enjoys simplicity in life.

My first WordPress developer experience was being a front-end developer at Queromedia. Mostly working within theme directory. After that I started working as a backend developer at AppSaloon and I’m still there. My job consists of creating custom features (plugins) or optimizing websites.

Jens De Beule
WordPress-gebruiker en community-contributor in hart en nieren! WP heeft heel veel te bieden aan zijn eindgebruikers en soms verstopt het zichzelf een beetje, aan mij om jouw ogen te openen! Ik zit zelf al meer als 5 jaar in beide voornoemde wereldjes en ben enorm gepassioneerd door de mogelijkheden van deze open-source community.
