rtCamp builds enterprise WordPress for some of the world's largest publishers and brands. My slice of that:
- Enterprise publishing platforms — engineering and maintaining WordPress VIP sites for global newsrooms and media brands
- Large-scale content migrations — moving years of editorial archives between platforms with custom CLI tooling, pre-flight checkups, and zero-loss verification
- Block editor engineering — custom Gutenberg block suites, full-site editing themes, and editorial workflows that editors actually enjoy using
- Open source on company time — my WordPress core and Gutenberg contributions are sponsored by rtCamp as part of its Five for the Future pledge
WordPress runs over 40% of the web, and I help maintain the editor at the heart of it — 24+ merged PRs in WordPress/gutenberg1, spanning table block fixes, component refinements, and REST API hardening.
