Herb Miller – online CV

I’m a full stack web developer, specialising in WordPress; the creator of oik plugins – the home of lazy smart shortcodes, and WP-a2z – the dynamic API reference for WordPress core, plugins, themes and blocks.

I focus most of my efforts into developing WordPress plugins for oik-plugins and bespoke plugins and themes for customers of bobbing wide. The rest of my time is spent cataloguing WordPress blocks. I also organise the WordPress Portsmouth Meetup.

Background

I formed my web design and web development company ( Bobbing Wide ) soon after retiring from IBM, where I’d developed software for 31 years.

Originally I focused on developing websites for small to medium businesses, mostly using Drupal and WordPress.

In 2011, I started developing WordPress plugins using the brand name of oik-plugins.

Many of the plugins are aimed at web designers, developers and power users.

There are now over 60 plugins, including oik, oik-nivo-slider, oik-weight-zone-shipping and the plugins that are the power behind wp-a2z.org: oik-fields, oik-types, oik-plugins, oik-themes, oik-shortcodes. And for the 2016 upgrade: oik-ajax, oik-batch, oik-ms.

Self employed since 2010

Working as Bobbing Wide and oik-plugins:

  • Develop and support a range of advanced WordPress plugins, both bespoke and Open Source.
  • Develop and support bespoke themes for customer sites.
  • Contributor to WordPress core
  • Develop and support the WordPress Dynamic API Reference suite of sites
