I've been writing about tech since 2010 and building on WordPress for almost as long. Today I run this:matters, a Swiss web & marketing agency for WordPress sites and WooCommerce shops. I also help maintain EmDash, the open-source CMS for Astro and Cloudflare that picks up where WordPress leaves off.

this:matters — Founder & CEO since 2023. Swiss web & marketing agency.    EmDash — Maintainer since 2026. Merged PRs, stars and forks.
