I aim for perfection and I’m eager to expand my knowledge and skill base, so I always look forward to new challenges. My love for WordPress and the need to stay up to date has driven me to attend WordPress Conferences all over Europe.

I’ve also benefited from my connection to the small but growing WordPress community in Macedonia. I like to give back to the WordPress community by adding plugins and helping with core updates. Last year I founded webpigment.com where we specialize in Woocommerce themes and plugins.

Building websites using React.js and WordPress API

In this talk, Mitko will speak about how you can leverage the WordPress REST API to build awesome websites, using React.js for rendering the frontend outside the WordPress Theme implementation, by using processor class inside the Reactj.js that will handle all the layouts that your website need.

Google helped me to understand that WordPress is the next big thing in my life. So I reconsidered my profession and from the construction site supervisor, I became the Web “WordPress” developer at the age of 34.

I believe that BIO should be seen as an ongoing process. Rather than a static snapshot, whereby we are perpetually re-framing, re-thinking and re-considering ourselves. At the moment I’m Western Balkans Manager at Enartia.com, a group of brands and coaching the dev team in a better tasks execution.

The Uncomfortable Truth

Inclusivity over diversity and equity over equality. The deeper understanding of needs and the way that our community should treat marginalized groups and what WordPress community can do to improve inclusion. How to make marginalized groups feel safe and secure in our conferences and not just safe but WELCOME.

How to survive a catastrophe?

A lecture on a real engterprise builds a WordPress-based project. The story of the current situation after the previous dev team was thrown out of the project, the bundles of inherited problems and how we from a completely dysfunctional pile of code in three years managed to build something in which clients have a lot of trusts and use every day for business purposes (and something that is after the audit by the company’s eminent, received very positive assessments).

Security by Design in WordPress

WordPress security is not only in the hands of the developers but is a shared responsibility model between hosting, themes/plugins developers, and site administrators. Let’s see how we can apply the principles of “Security by Design” to WordPress, level-up the security of our websites and minimize the risk of hacking.
