She’s worked remotely for more than five years now and her current project is a book about remote work, which she’s writing for Repeater Books.
Tomaz Zaman
Born and raised in central Slovenia. After having moved to the most remote part of the country with his family, he had to look online for work and found a couple of issues that online outsourcing services have and decided to build my own. Having 0 experience with WordPress at the time was quite a challenge, but luckily the community was warm and welcoming and the business is growing ever since because there’s a need for a matchmaking service like ours.
When he’s not managing the team of currently 12 people, he likes to write JavaScript. Off work, he’s a husband, a father of 4 kids and a passionate Skydiver.
Peter Wilson
Peter Wilson is a web-developer with twenty years experience, a CSS junkie, a developer at Human Made Australia and a regular contributor to WordPress core.
