Dion Hulse (@dd32) – WordPress user profile

Bio

Hi! I’m Dion.

A software developer from Australia, working on WordPress.org, WordCamp.org, and WordPress itself.

You’ll find me with my finger in far too many pies, but that means I’ll always have that piece of history from 20-years ago that explains why something is how it is to this day.

Interests

WordPress, IoT, PHP, Other

WordPress Origin Story

It’s been so long, that I can’t actually fully recall it.

Got involved through the Google Summer of Code in 2008 after missing the cutoff in 2007. Been here ever since.
