Christopher Ross

WordPress engineering for teams that can't afford broken sites.

I build and maintain WordPress infrastructure for media organisations, educational institutions, and government — environments where a bad deploy has consequences. I've been on the open web since 1996 and on WordPress since 2007.

What I'm working on

  • WP Shadow — a local-first WordPress diagnostics and remediation plugin. 230+ checks across performance, security, SEO, and accessibility. Currently in public beta.
  • thisismyurl.com — the site behind the work. Plugins, technical writing, training resources, and case studies.
  • A focused plugin suite — see the pinned repositories below. Security, performance, and media-library tools for the kinds of WordPress installs where reliability is non-negotiable.

Where to start

If you landed here from a plugin, the pinned repositories are the active tools. If you're evaluating me for work, the writing and case studies on thisismyurl.com carry more signal than the README files do — start with the security or media-library pillars, depending on what you're solving.

Plugins still in the field

A handful of small, focused plugins from earlier WordPress eras are maintained on WordPress.org and archived here on GitHub:

How I work

Senior WordPress engineering at $275 CAD/hr. Architecture work, plugin development, technical SEO, performance audits, team training, and the unglamorous-but-load-bearing infrastructure that keeps content sites stable.

Based in Fort Erie, Ontario, serving the Niagara region locally and clients elsewhere remotely.

If you have a WordPress problem that's been sitting on the backlog too long: thisismyurl.com/contact/ — first conversation is a free 20-minute discovery call.
