About Me

I’m a Product Manager and ex- WordPress developer. I used to run Code for the People, who were acquired by Automattic in 2014. I now work in the WordPress.com VIP team, we make it so that some pretty huge companies can use WordPress right in the middle of all things digital.

The VIP team at Automattic is a great place to work. We’re looking for all kinds of colleagues to throw their hat into the ring with us… from VIP Developers, Platform Engineers, to Sales Executives and Relationship Managers; take a look at our careers page.

You’ve got a never-ending resource of inspiration just in front of you every day – you can see completely different approaches to building web applications on top of WordPress and you can see the way how they work in real life.
