WordPress Origin Story

My history with WordPress started in 2008 when I developed my first theme; after this, I worked in many companies using WordPress. In 2010, I created the first WordPress course in São Paulo inside the technical school DRC. For six years, I worked for digital agencies. For most of this time, I used to work with WordPress; after this time, I started working with companies; the first was UOL, where I was responsible for administrating the “blogosfera,” a WordPress Multisite with more than 40 blogs at this time.

My contribution to WordPress outside the educational content was organizing WordCamps São Paulo/Dublin and Translations from several plugins
