Ryan Duff has been working with WordPress since early 2004 and was the original author of the WordPress Contact Form plugin. As a long time community member, he enjoys exploring new ways to make use of WordPress. Making things simple for clients and pushing the envelope of what’s possible is at the core of that. Ryan is a developer by nature so he focuses primarily on back end architecture and less on design. He’s also an experienced linux sysadmin with a few years under his belt. Over the past couple of years he’s given various WordCamp talks highlighting these skills. He also runs the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania WordPress meetup group.
