I am a senior FullStack WordPress Developer, Consultant and Product Manager, regular Contributor to the community by Open-Source projects, Front-end Fanatic, and an accidental photographer. I’ve been using WordPress for over ten years, specialized in custom  application development.

I love to create optimized but advanced workflows to produce professional software. Love to dig into the dirty code, clean and optimize it up to create something beautiful. Wake me up to discuss how to name a thing (functions, arguments, options, anything really). I enjoy developing new WordPress themes or plugins to help people build their blogs or sites and recognize the potential open-source platforms has to offer.

When not working, I am usually out clicking random pictures; some people tell me I am good at it, or writing a bit of poetry which is yet to come out in the open.
