Automattic

Developer advocate at Automattic with over 20 years of software development experience. I’ve spent quite a bit of that time in the WordPress ecosystem—building plugins, breaking things, fixing them again, and teaching others along the way.

I’ve been experimenting with AI-assisted development since 2021, watching the tools evolve from curiosities into genuine productivity multipliers. Over the past year, I’ve followed the accelerating convergence of AI and WordPress closely, across core, plugins, and the broader ecosystem—which feels like a natural meeting point of my two favourite things to tinker with.

When I’m not diving into code or creating educational content, you’ll find me experimenting with AI integrations, contributing to open source, or trying to explain complex technical concepts with analogies that probably make more sense to me than to anyone else.
