I’ve been working with WordPress for about a decade, and professionally in the WordPress VIP environment for 6 years. I’ve contributed a few lines of code to WordPress core and maintain a couple plugins as well. I am also one of the co-organizers for the WordPress North NJ Meetup and on the planning team for the first WordCamp Montclair.
In my current position at Penske Media Corporation (Variety.com, WWD.com, Rollingstone.com, Deadline.com, Indiewire.com et al), I am the lead engineer for the subscriptions team. Most of our work is handling our subscriber base and providing them with access to paywalled content on our WordPress sites as well as access to other non-WordPress products.
Prior to PMC, I worked at Interactive One as their lead developer. Both PMC and Interactive One are on WordPress VIP.
