WordPress Origin Story

I started at WooCommerce looking over their marketplace and developing a plugin/market strategy at Automattic. Quickly diving into the plugin/extension world, I developed a passion for open source, the community, and moving the product forward. I made the switch to WordPress.com not long after and have enjoyed working alongside the project from within Automattic and outside.
