Senior engineer at Impress.org with a love for mentoring and coaching growing devs, coming up with simple solutions to complex problems, and hanging out with my wife!
Welcome to the
2022 Recapathon! 🎉🎊
It was a year of ups and downs
First, some folks went on to do other things with their life.
I mean we're happy for them!
...and we miss them
Now we've got amazing new teammates!
Joshua Dinh!
Captain "I can do anything with raw enthusiasm!"
Jeffrey De-Grat Hinson!
The electrical engineer who was actually a closet UI/UX ninja
AND!
Glauber Silva!
The savior our gateways needed
Paulo Iankoski
Who can kill anyone with kindness
AND right at the last second!
Noah D'Arcy
The man of a thousand cats
(six)
Alexis Karnauskas
We're so glad you're year! Sorry about the mess.
Oh yeah. We built some stuff!
We introduced the Classic Template back in January 🧐
It only took sixteen weeks the time it took!
Joshua, Jeffrey, and Paulo took some list tables and made them fantastic.
The people asked for P2P emails...
and Joshua and Glauber answered.
Glauber took our gateways...
and pounded them into the future
Josh Cummings valiantly fought Web Core Vitals and probably won... 😅

Jeffrey and Kirkland built the GiveWP Design System that's going to affect everything
We... um... fixed some security issues.
Our frameworks are legendary
