    Bio

    I’m a WordPress plug-in developer and a web accessibility consultant. I’m part of the Make WordPress Accessible team, the team dedicated to improving accessibility in the WordPress ecosystem.

    I’m self-employed, but since fall 2022 I’ve had part-time sponsorship from GoDaddy to contribute to WordPress. In March 2025, I also welcomed sponsorship from Kinsta to expand my ability to contribute.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I’ve been self-employed building web sites & providing consulting services since 2004, and started using WordPress in 2006, converting my own blog from BlogSpot to WordPress. In 2008 I started building plugins, then started contributing to core regularly in 2012. I’m now a core committer, and have been in the credits for every version of WordPress since 3.8 (except for 4.5.)
