By day, George Stephanis is a mild-mannered code monkey on the Jetpack Pit Crew for Automattic. By night, however, George is a Core Contributor to WordPress, and a Team Fortress 2 aficionado.
His obsessions include human readable code, typography, open-source software, letterpress printing, the oxford comma, bread-making, semantic HTML, making lists, and minimalistic markup. He also runs the Lancaster WordPress Meetup group.
Automattic is a company best known for giving the world the free and opensource blogging platform WordPress and for running the popularWordPress.com website.
