Paul Bearne is an enthusiast who loves to vision ways to make WordPress do things it doesn\u2019t normally do. Having engaged with WordPress almost from the start, he specializes in the creation of highly performant scalable, accessible and SEO friendly code, supports a growing list of plugins including his own commercial pro plugin, Matador Jobs.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has contributed consistently to WordPress Core since version 3.9 as well as setting up a local meetup and speaking at WordCamps. He is currently being sponsored by Hostinger<\/a> to work part-time on Core as part of their Five for the Future<\/a> pledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul and his wife live on a lake in Southern Ontario and, when he\u2019s not up to his ears in code, can often be found out on the water, taking the boat to buy ice creams, paddling the quiet bays, or, in winter, snowshoeing across the ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
