Bio

By day, David Artiss works as a Lead for the WordPress VIP Customer Success Support Team (EMEA). His nearly thirty years of experience in IT support roles has given him the chance to cultivate the art of truly taking care of people and writing so anyone can understand.

David has been active in the WordPress community for 12 years, first as a plugin author, then as a speaker and volunteer at various WordCamps, as well as contributing to Core, Support, Documentation, Translations, and WordPress.TV.

By night, David has performed in 18 musicals and concerts, so is no stranger to the stage. He also writes for the straight-talking technology site The Big Tech Question. He lives in Nottingham, England, with his wife, two daughters, and a room full of Lego.

Interests

Gaming, movie watching, singing and performing in musical theatre

WordPress Origin Story

Has run his own self-hosted site on WordPress for over 12 years. When he wanted to find a plugin to do something, but nothing was available that was just right, he wrote his own. This lead to involvement with core and support contributing.

In 2017 he was employed by Automattic to work on the WordPress VIP team.
