Hi! My name is Megan (she/her). I’m a web developer in the Cleveland area specializing in WordPress. I’m very involved in the WordPress open source project and I currently work on the community team at Codeable.
Career Journey
I’ve always had an interest in computers. I first dabbled in HTML and CSS on Neopets when I was 12 years old. I received my Bachelors of Science in Technology degree from Bowling Green State University in 2014. While attending, I completed three co-ops/internships in the fields of graphic design, photography, and web design/development.
After college, I worked at KHM Travel Group for 6 and a half years. During this time, I grew my role from Front End Web Developer to Technology Manager. While at KHM Travel, I grew a lot as a person and as a professional. From contributing to industry publications to leading our company’s security initiatives, the value I provided extended beyond lines of code. One of my strengths is my ability to maintain strong relationships with contractors, partners, and fellow team members.
Roughly half a year into the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, I left my position at KHM Travel to join the Blackbird Digital team as a Senior Developer. During my time there, I both worked on client projects as well as co-hosted our WordPress development podcast, In The Loop. My favorite episode is the WordPress Agency Panel Discussion, but you can also catch a recap of our best moments in the Season 1 Highlights episode.
My passion for community building brought me to Codeable in 2021, where I serve as the main point of contact for the 700+ WordPress developers (“experts”) on our platform. In this role, I create and improve educational resources for the experts, manage all processes related to the expert experience, and facilitate discussions to generate feedback on how to improve their experience.
