Sybre Waaijer (@cybr) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I started in 2014 with WordPress. I manage WordPress (Multisite) hosting networks, I contribute to WordPress Core, I design custom themes, and I create free SEO plugins.

With everything I do, I focus on performance, scalability, security, privacy by design, and I aim for seamless integrations.

My goal is to prove that you can contribute full-time to WordPress without exploiting its users. I believe I already achieved that; people just haven’t noticed it yet.

Interests

Nature, perfectionism, utopianism, monetarism repudiation, fairness in its plainest form.
And uhm, fast browsing 🙂

WordPress Origin Story

In 2014 I created a community website using bbPress. Everything was slow and sluggish, and as a perfectionist that’s overambitious, I quickly learned how to resolve that. This endeavor resulted in me starting a hosting company, rolling into WPMUdev’s community, and eventually developing custom solutions, which ultimately kicked off my full-time WordPress plugin development career.
