Hi, I'm Leonidas and I'm working at Yoast as a developer since June 2021.
I’ve been a member of the WordPress ecosystem for over 10 years now and prior to Yoast, I had been working with web agencies building WordPress websites and applications before getting hired by a WordPress plugin company where I started working on plugin development and eventually ended up building plugins from scratch.
