Erick Hitter (@ethitter) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I’m a plugin author and a Core contributor.

WordPress Origin Story

I was an accountant and thought it’d be interesting to write about my career. It wasn’t, but I started tinkering with WordPress and was hooked. I helped organize the first WordCamp Boston, and those connections led to a career developing all manner of things using WordPress.
