Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Mirus is a full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building web applications, currently focused on WordPress theme and plugin development and React while learning Laravel. Based in Vienna, Virginia, he contributes to the popular roots/sage starter theme—improving templates, security, and Tailwind CSS integration—which reflects his practical blend of CMS expertise and modern front-end tooling. He brings a long freelance background alongside roles at Carrot and In Pursuit Of, shipping production sites and improving template hierarchies and editor support. Matthew pairs deep WordPress knowledge with database and backend experience from earlier roles, making him effective across the stack from Blade/Laravel-style templating to client-side interfaces. Collected work shows an emphasis on maintainability and security rather than flashy features, and he’s comfortable iterating on open-source projects used by other developers.
