Bio

I build fast, lightweight WordPress plugins and tools with a focus on security and performance. Everything I create solves real-world problems efficiently—whether that’s hardening a site, optimizing speed, or improving navigation where themes fall short.

Interests

Art, painting, poetry, old-school heavy metal (especially Iron Maiden), my dogs, and exploring creative ways to combine design and functionality in WordPress projects.

WordPress Origin Story

I first discovered WordPress running a dog blog back in 2011, which went viral on social media. After a hack wiped the site, I focused on learning everything I could about WordPress security and speed optimization. That journey taught me how to build fast, safe, and reliable sites—and still guides how I develop today.
