Story

From writing code to running the systems around it.

Before WordPress there was a career in enterprise software and operations: about eight years in .NET and SQL, then leading a production support team of around 20 people, working with clients, SLAs and vendors in US healthcare technology.

That background is why my websites are built properly underneath. I understand how technology is built, how businesses use it, how teams operate it, and now how AI can automate it.
