Jose Luis SAYAGO (@iluminatus) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I am a seasoned web developer with more than 10 years of experience, I have worked as sysadmin, developer and open source professional instructor. I can handle back-end and front-end tasks for web environments: web servers (LAMPP, WAMPP, MAMPP), GNU/Linux/Win/Mac. PHP, HTML4/5, XML, JavaScript (jQuery, Mootools, Angular, Vanilla), Ruby on Rails.

I have also extensive knowledge in WordPress for which I have developed some widely used free plugins and also maintain a premium one. Even though my CMS of preference is WordPress, I also work with Joomla! and Drupal.

I hold a trilingual (English, French, Spanish) master’s degree in applied foreign languages with a specialization in e-Marketing, that is why I feel comfortable working with eMarketing tools such as Google Analytics, Adwords/Adsense, SmartAD, Mailchimp, Mailgun, Stripe, PayPal, Sedo, Amazon Payments, Social Media websites, etc.

I maintain active relationship with customers around the world, I speak Spanish (native), English (fluent) and French (fluent) which helps me better communicate with people.

WordPress Origin Story

I was always that guy who was testing new web-related stuff, I used to create HTML pages around 2001-2002 in notepad, then in FrontPage (yeah I know what you’re thinking). I used to be one of those guys who published websites filled with animated GIFs, dark backgrounds and red/green fonts!

However I loved to investigate and learn from professionals and -future- web gurus. Then I learned FrontPage was bad for web developing so I changed to Dreamweaver (yeah, yeah, what a change huh?), so I was publishing individual HTML pages where I wrote about my life and things I thought (opinion about political stuff, feelings, etc.). Nonetheless, while doing so I started to look for ways to make it easier to publish stuff without writing the whole HTML structure every single time.

I then around end-2002, 2003 I found out about dynamic sites using PHP, JavaScript, and so I started playing with them. Around 2004 I discovered WordPress (1.2), I downloaded it and start playing with it on my local server. I didn’t have enough money, nor any reason to buy hosting to publish a website, I used to be one of those guys chasing for free hosting and free domains (.tk anyone?), for this reason I couldn’t host WordPress and publish stuff on my own beyond localhost.

I started developing sites in WordPress since version 1.5, finally around 2008 I decided to join the community to start asking and answering questions, and just getting involved. I fell in love with WordPress since that time, it was the most awesome thing I have found and I still believe it is the best CMS out there. If you are experienced enough you can do whatever you want with it, using it as a CMS, Framework or a simple blog, it just works.

By the way, now I code using Sublime Text 2/3 no WYSIWYG for me anymore. No more weird animated GIFs or huge images sucking out bandwidth like vampires. And if there are dark backgrounds I make sure font colors won’t make you blind. It’s been a long way but absolutely worth it.
