I’m a dev lead at Automattic, currently building AI tools for WordPress.com. Before that I spent years on Jetpack. I’ve been working with WordPress for over a decade — long enough to have opinions about it.
I’m a generalist. I’d rather build a rough version of something than read about the right way to do it. Most of what I know came from breaking things and fixing them. Could Be Cool is where a lot of that ends up.
I live in Portland, Maine with my wife Hannah and two cats. We travel a lot — multiple trips a year, wherever looks interesting.
I also have an AI agent named Bella who helped build this site and has stronger opinions about CSS than I do.
