Hello, I’m Scott Kingsley Clark 🙂

I’ve been developing for the web since I was 15. As a result of real world math, that makes me 530 in code years.

What got me into development?

I wanted background music on my site so I learned HTML. Then I moved on to other challenges. I eventually started my own hosting resale site too. I’ve worked with hundreds of websites and at one point I even maintained my own CMS built with PHP / MySQL. I switched to developing with WordPress in 2007 and have been enjoying pushing the boundaries ever since.

What do I do?

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with Pagely (GoDaddy), the Lead Developer of the Pods Framework, and I contribute to other projects as often as I can.

I specialize in WordPress development using PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript. I love big data and DB migration projects. I have experience with full stack development and have been spending the past few years building new things in React. I speak at WordCamps, Meetups, Conferences, and on Podcasts to help others learn from my experiences.

What do I do outside of work?

When I’m not developing I spend as much time as possible with my family and watching Sci-Fi movies and TV related to time manipulation, time travel, time loops, parallel universes, and anything else like that.

Oh and I also like to play and make music, my music project is Soft Charisma!

“I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life… to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
