As you might have guessed, my name is Pascal. I’m a software engineer based in Zurich, Switzerland. I currently work at Google as a Developer Programs Engineer as part of a team that aims to accelerate the web through CMSes like WordPress.
As an active member of the WordPress community, I know how important it is to give something back. As a committer to WordPress core, I have made numerous contributions to WordPress and other open source projects over the years. I helped make embedding content from WordPress and updating your site easier than ever.
I am also quite involved with development of WP-CLI, the official command line interface for WordPress, as a co-maintainer. I also helped co-organize local events such as WordCamps and the WordPress Zurich Meetup. Most recently, I started focusing on improving performance in CMS like WordPress and experimenting with client-side media processing.
From time to time I speak at conferences about technical topics like internationalization and performance. Some videos can be found on WordPress.tv, with slides available on Speaker Deck.
