I am sad to announce that XWP has not renewed my contract as of the end of January. This news came as a shock to me and many of my fellow XWP team members that received the news last week. I am currently in the process of looking for my next role in the WordPress space. If you are interested in working with me, do not hesitate to reach out on my contact form, via twitter or linkedin. I am looking for contract roles, freelance or consultancy work. I am proficient in PHP, Javascript ( react / typescript ) and Gutenberg. Looking for a role where I used my skills in WordPress at scale, multisite, the REST API and gutenberg, to work on large scale WordPress projects.
What this also means is that XWP is no longer sponsoring me to work on WordPress core. Without XWP’s support here, I will no longer be able to commit the 15 hours a week I currently work on WordPress core and other related open source projects. This will sadly mean that work on the WordPress performance project will slow ( or stop ), while I work on securing new sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring me or help me to get sponsored, then reach out or consider sponsoring me on Github.
I will be attending WordCamp Asia in February 2023. For anyone interested in talking, that might be a great place to meet face to face.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank XWP. It has been my home for 3 and half years. The community at XWP has been amazing to be part of and I have valued every second I worked there. I hope to keep strong ties with the XWP and the XWP community for many years to come.
