Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlec Geatches is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building web and mobile software, currently focused on WordPress plugin development at Automattic. He brings a background spanning freelance product work, mobile app development, and platform-scale engineering from time at Microsoft where he implemented OAuth2 server-side auth and cross-platform automation. Alec combines deep WordPress expertise with practical full-stack skills—server-side JavaScript, web tooling stabilization, and analytics/web service integrations—so he can both ship plugins and diagnose platform issues. Based in Erie, Colorado, he pairs a B.S. in Computer Science from Colorado School of Mines with hands-on consulting experience, making him comfortable across codebases large and small.
