Update: I’ve been laid off from Google. See A Decade as a Core Committer: My WordPress Contribution History

Hi, I’m Weston Ruter. I’m an ex-Googler working on the WordPress Core Performance team. I’ve been a WordPress core committer for over a decade. I was a Google for over six years and before that I worked at XWP as CTO.

I live in Portland, Oregon with my wife, two boys, and our cat. I like running, biking, public transit, linguistics, estudiar español, learning ASL, space exploration, Christian theology, and listening to NPR.
