Weston Ruter

westonruter
Portland, OR, USA

I was employed at Google for 6+ years and was sponsored to work on the WordPress project. I've lost my position, and so I'm looking for sustainable ways to continue contributing. I'm a long-time WordPress contributor, including being a core committer for the past 10 years. As a member of the Core Performance Team, I'm passionate about making WordPress fast. I've been building on the open web for over 25 years.
