Weston Ruter

westonruter
Portland, OR, USA

I was employed at Google for 6½ years where I was sponsored to work full time on WordPress. 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 and the 4.9 co-release lead. 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.
