About

I'm a Happiness Engineer at Automattic, helping merchants turn WooCommerce chaos into calm. I build tools, fix problems, and help people do more with WooCommerce and WordPress.

My work involves supporting the WooCommerce ecosystem, including core WooCommerce, WooPayments, and various payment gateways. I also contribute to WordPress.org as a plugin developer, theme developer, pattern author, and translation contributor.

Before joining Automattic, I spent several years as a freelance developer on Upwork, working with clients worldwide to build custom WordPress themes, plugins, and WooCommerce solutions.

When I'm not helping merchants or writing code, you can find me sharing everyday lessons from WooCommerce support on my blog, where I explain real problems in simple words with practical fixes.
