Cory Webb has engineered WordPress solutions for years, and understands the system and its architecture at a deep, technical level. He has authored a book on CMS design, and spoken at regional WordCamps in Austin, Fort Worth, San Diego, and Minneapolis as well as WordCamp US. He enjoys engaging with students and looking for ways to help site owners do things differently (read: more easily) so they can empower themselves in a world where DIY can be overwhelming. Cory embraced Gutenberg development as an early adopter while working with a WordPress agency. He’s built custom blocks since early 2018 and experienced the ways the API and tools evolved into a robust ecosystem.
Currently, Cory leads plugin development as a software engineer for Fast, a Bay Area Fintech company whose one-click checkout integrates with WooCommerce-powered WordPress sites. He hails from Waco, Texas, home of Dr. Pepper, Baylor University, and shiplap, and you can usually find him spending time with his wife and three kids traveling, watching movies, and serving at his local church.
