Digital product guy. Problem solver. WordPress nerd.

Hey! I’m Shaun, maker of digital products.

Digital product guy.
Problem solver.
WordPress nerd.

At the intersection of product, design and engineering, I’ve been building digital products with WordPress since 2014. I take a lateral approach to solving problems and have a keen eye for simplicity and craft.


I am…

A trusted digital partner

I love a twisty technical challenge (type 2 fun ftw!) and love partnering with forward-thinking people to deliver high-impact tech.

Open, transparent, honest

I believe that openness, transparency and honesty and essentials to doing good work.

Obsessed with quality

I create clean and bold designs and write lean efficient code. I have a razor sharp eye for detail and am focused on creating high quality work.

Reliable and dependable

I work out what needs to be done and break down tasks in a granular way, I take a structured and methodical approach whilst being agile and flexible to change.

User-centric

I take a user-centric approach to everything I build. I advocate for users and do what’s right by them.

Happy leading projects and taking ownership

I’m able to zoom in and understand the details and zoom out and see the bigger picture.

An experienced WordPress expert

I know WordPress inside out; I know how to get the best out of it and how to make sure tech built with it is performant, secure, extensible and maintainable.

Your friendly neighbourhood techy

I’m friendly, approachable and I communicate clearly and explain complex technical concepts in plain language

A rapid prototyper

I create prototypes using real code crazily fast so we can collaborate and work together to create something incredible.

Focused on what matters

I’m focused on the things that matter, like performance, security, simplicity and scalability, and I’m always looking for ways these can be improved.
