Bio
Full stack WordPress developer, Codeable expert, Test team rep, Core component maintainer and fantasy writer.
WordPress Origin Story
It all started with writing sites from scratch for clients in 2012, then I tried different CMS and finally realized that WordPress is the best choice there is. The Community turned out an amazing discovery. Here I found not only an ability to apply and develop my skill but also friends from all over the world who are thirst for knowledge and eager to make a difference, people with open hearts and minds. Deepest gratitude to Abha Thakor (@webcommsat), mentor and friend.
I found the Russian WordPress Community in 2017 and attended my first WordCamp in St. Petersburg in 2018.
My first international WordCamp was WordCamp Nordic in March 2019 and I have joined The Global WordPress Marketing Team on a Contributors Day in WCEU 2019 in Berlin. I was lucky to attend in person WordCamp St.Petersburg in 2019 and WordCamp Vienna 2020 and many online Community events ever since. And, perhaps we met at WC Asia 2023, WCEU 2023 or WC Asia 2024.
