About seven years ago, I couldn’t believe my luck when I got an offer to work at Automattic. I have been extraordinarily lucky, in that my first job out of college was with some of the most brilliant people I have ever met, and this next one was no exception. Not only it was a great job offer, but I would also get to work on open source projects full time!

Over years, my job got me to travel a lot, and make lots of friends with people from backgrounds that I otherwise wouldn’t have opportunities to interact with. I got to work with very awesome and bright colleagues, executed extremely complex projects to success and learned a lot. It’s very gratifying to see all the impact I was able to make.

And now that my chapter at Automattic has come to an end, I am filled with nothing but gratitude for all these years.

Friends, Teams, So Long… and Thanks for All the Fish!

Contd. – the next WooCommerce host

WooCommerce as an open source project has been very powerful, it has rightfully found a great market fit and powers millions of shops without breaking a sweat.

Something that I have wanted to do, is to present it in it’s best polished version. I will build that.

I will write more about how it will connect with merchants, and increase revenue as I build it out. Till then, stay tuned and thanks for reading.
