Bio

I am fueled by a passion for new developments in technology and how the application of these can deliver an awesome user experience while effectively meeting business needs.

Recently I have focused primarily on the WordPress platform, with core commits in 3.9, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 47,4.8, 4.9and 5.0, augmenting my existing development skills in a range of environments and a variety of projects. This has included work on a number of themes, plugins and supporting various sites on WordPress VIP. I am also a component maintainer for WordPress (Date/Time).

Interests

Walking, Kayaking, Reading, Theater, PHP, Javascript, CSS

WordPress Origin Story

I discovered WordPress in 2006 when asked to explore the use of collaborative tools internally for a multinational corporation, setting up a 200+ multi-blog site using WPMU on IIS7. As part of this project, I created my first plugin, Author Avatars, (https://wordpress.org/plugins/author-avatars/ ), which now has 10,000+ active installs.

From this point on, the community, the flexibility and the velocity of WordPress has made it my platform of choice.

I specialize in creating highly performant scalable, accessible and SEO friendly code (plugins and themes) for large WordPress sites that are often multi-site, multi-language, VIP and/or e-commerce.

In 2018, with a partner, I launched a premium plugin for the recruitment industry, Matador Jobs (https://matadorjobs.com/) and in June Matador Jobs became an official Bullhorn partner (https://www.bullhorn.com/marketplace/matador-jobs/).

I continue to support my growing list of plugins (https://profiles.wordpress.org/pbearne/#content-plugins ) and the wider WordPress community, and speak regularly at WordCamps.
