Back in WordPress core

Don’t call it a comeback! Eleven years and three weeks since my last official code commit to the WordPress.org project.

Then, with r33093: “stop Twenty Fifteen from hyphenating form inputs.” In those years I contributed ~900 commits to improve the yearly WordPress default themes between Twenty Eleven through Twenty Fifteen.

Today, with r62857: “retry Docker image pulls so a flaky registry doesn’t redden a green test run.”

Fast forward and I’m now a full-stack builder who can fix anything. My current focus is to use build/test tools to improve quality, security, and performance: automated checks, GitHub Actions, automating the security alert-to-fix loops.

Eleven years later, I’ve arrived back home. Let’s go!

    If you are into WordPress and love working in PHP, we’d love your help on a big push to modernize our unit tests! See this post: Join the PHPUnit test cleanup for 7.2.

    This is also a good example of my leadership in core, from strategy to execution. I often code 50-80% of my days now, including nights & weekends. Full stack.
