About William

I’m a software engineer, troubleshooter, and general problem solver. I currently work at Newfold Digital as the head of WordPress engineering, trying to make things better for the millions of WordPress sites hosted on our brands (including Bluehost, Hostgator, and Web.com) and the many millions more across the web who use our plugins from Yoast and YITH.

Previously I worked in ITS Digital Services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I focused on mobile app infrastructure and two WordPress multisite networks hosting thousands of sites for students, faculty and staff.

I live in the downtown area of Cary, North Carolina with my wife and two sons. When I’m not tinkering with code, I enjoy fishing and working on my 1952 Willys Jeep.
