Simon Wheatley

I am a WordPress developer, and have been since 15th Dec 2005 (when I made my first commit to my SVN server for a WordPress project). I’ve contributed code to the core project for many versions over the last 5 years or so, and was honoured to be invited to attend the first WordPress Community Summit in 2012.

Last year I developed a new WordPress plugin, Babble, with the aim of providing a modern WordPress plugin which could efficiently display translated content for a WordPress website. Babble is in action at Oxford University’s FreeSpeechDebate.com, which presents content in thirteen different languages.

I now work exclusively on WordPress, with my colleagues at Code For The People, for clients like The Rolling Stones, the UK Government, Oxford University and Stephen Fry.
