The public record: what I've built and where to check it
Verified credentials for Christopher Ross: WordPress Core contributions, merged pull requests to major open-source projects, published WordPress.org plugins, conference speaking, newspaper columns, and corporate training authority.
If you are deciding whether to quote me, book me, or hand me a project, this is the page that saves you the digging. Everything I claim about my work in WordPress lives here in one place: the code I have contributed, the plugins I have shipped, the writing I have published, and the rooms I have spoken in. Every item links to its source so you can verify it yourself, without taking my word for any of it.
