I’m a reformed Civil Engineer, turned e-commerce developer, and my other career as an international athlete playing team handball. From a purely logical standpoint, handball has been a terrible career choice because it tends to pay negatively and has put a lot of wear and tear on my body. But, I’ve been able to compete in over 100 international matches and play professionally in three different countries!

And it was actually handball that brought me into the web development world, first creating a site for the women’s National Team in DreamWeaver. And then later when I knew I would need a flexible job to continue training, I stumbled into WordPress after returning from playing professionally in France and from there things took off!
I’ve been WordPressin’ since 2009! I originally did a lot of freelance client work but shifted entirely to plugin development, most notably with premium extensions for WooCommerce.
I solve problems with code. I customize WooCommerce to your site’s unique needs.
When I’m not running around on the handball court or creating great plugins, you can usually find me in the kitchen concocting a culinary masterpiece or making a cocktail. I really dig weightlifting and kettlebells in particular. I love making tacos and little makes me happier than a bowl of guacamole. I speak French, have traveled to four continents (but ready to see the rest!), and learned to scuba dive in Thailand just because. I can fix almost anything with a pocket knife, duct tape, and Youtube.
If you want to discuss a project for one of my plugins, you can send me an email.
