- 💼 I currently work full-time as a Lead Web Engineer at 10up.
- From a programming standpoint I focus mainly on back-end development in PHP and Hack, but also write JavaScript as needed.
- I've been using Claude Code almost daily since June 2024 and my usage has ramped up as it's improved over time.
- I achieved a "Meta Platforms" specialty title after working closely with multiple teams at Meta (Facebook) building and maintaining websites with their custom and proprietary CMS. This included bringing multiple projects through the company's privacy review process and working with their i18n team to translate website content.
- My main focus since around 2010 has been WordPress development such as custom theme development, plugin development, debugging, and maintenance.
- I recently built Myrk Feature Flags. A comprehensive feature flags WordPress plugin with more to come with a Pro version.
- I built and sell a WordPress plugin named Cardinal Store Locator.
- I also built the open source jQuery Store Locator plugin and still occasionally release updates for it. At some point I'm hoping to rebuild the entire thing in React.
- 🏠 I currently live in the greater Seattle, WA area.
- 🌱 I’m currently working on developing my React skills and trying to decide if it's even worth it to learn new languages with AI advancing the way that it has been.
