    WordPress Origin Story

    I started my WordPress journe at a digital agency, building websites for diverse clients. What began as simple theme customization quickly evolved into a passion for core development custom plugins, hooks, filters, and performance optimization. Over time, I led enterprise projects with 90+ pages, mentored junior developers, and started integrating AI tools into WordPress workflows. WordPress taught me that great code solves real business problems and I’ve been hooked ever since.
