Brent
Shepherd
Born to build.
I founded Prospress (acquired by Automattic), created WooCommerce Subscriptions (100k+ active installs), and later led WooCommerce Payments division at Automattic.
In these roles, I'm proud to have contributed meaningfully to open source products that 100,000s of businesses rely on to move tens of billions of dollars through the global economy each year.
Now
These days my title is simpler, and job is harder: full-time parent to 3 young, amazing, and strong-willed children.
I still love to see people prosper through new technology. Especially technologies that provide the freedoms of open source. I regularly tinker with AI toys, and am increasingly attached to Horza, my OpenClaw... the same agent that created this page.
