Bio

In college, I wrote poetry in two languages: English and BASH. I quickly learned to submit my work to the right professors.

Communication amongst humans and machines has intrigued me. My focus on community and communication naturally led me to open source projects, and I have been actively involved in various FOSS projects over the years. The agility and flexibility of open source software matches my agile marketing focus, and has enabled me to tackle growth in unique ways.

Interests

cooking, vinyl records, photography, tarot, 3D printing, drones

WordPress Origin Story

I found WordPress in late 2004, as editor of the school newspaper, and used it to bring our tiny publication online. I fell in love with open source, grabbed a degree in computer science and English, and went on to build a web services agency. We built several hundred WordPress sites, but when agency life got me down I moved on to startups before eventually landing at Automattic.
