Adam Silverstein started programming by learning assembly code on his Radio Shack color computer (with 4K!), and started a software company from his college dorm room. After years building custom solutions he embraced WordPress as his platform of choice, built sites for clients large and small, and eventually wound up as an Engineering Manager at leading WordPress agency 10up. He was recognized as a “rockstar” for his role in the revisions rewrite for WordPress 3.6 and has contributed to every release since then. He loves long rafting trips, playing mbira, travel, taking walks and tending his over sized garden.”
