Matt Mullenweg's Auto-Biography

Founder of Automattic Inc.

My name is Matthew Mullenweg. I’m a kid born and raised in Houston, Texas. I write code, prose, and music. I’ve taken a few pictures too.

WordPress

I am the founding developer of WordPress, the blogging software that runs much of this site and thousands of other sites around the world. The website says WordPress is “a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform” but more importantly WordPress is a part of who I am. Like eating, breathing, music, I can’t not work on WordPress. The project touches a lot of people, something I’ve recently begun to appreciate. I consider myself very lucky to be able to work on something I love so much.

I wrote the foreword to WordPress for Dummies.
