Bios

Bio (Third Person)

Thorsten is a certified PHP engineer, web development professional and tester. He has been working on the web since 2000, and with (and on) WordPress since 2005. Thorsten is a Senior WordPress Engineer at Human Made.

A big fan of open source, Thorsten created several plugins and other projects, but also contributed to existing open source projects. Also, he is an advocate of object-oriented design, and software testing.

Since the first official German WordCamp in Hamburg in June 2014, Thorsten fell in love with both the WordPress community and WordCamps, in particular, where he likes to both gain and share knowledge.
