As a backend developer, I’m passionate about optimizing code and about making sure it runs as fast and safely as possible.

Stereotype developers may prefer to lock themselves up in dark, moldy attics. I like to think of myself as a reasonably social person, though. I enjoy meaningful conversations. It helps me understand the challenges that our clients and my co-workers face. That’s where I get really excited; helping people solve a complex challenge.

WordPress and its community have positively surprised me some 12 years ago. Yep, I’m one of those people actively working with WordPress way back when themes and plugins didn’t exist yet. It’s incredible to see how far the software and community have developed over the past years.
