My name is Paul Jacobson.
I’m a Happiness Engineer at Automattic, purveyor of fine web services such as WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and many more. In short, I help our customers get stuff done with their WordPress.com websites, leveraging WordPress technologies, WooCommerce, and Jetpack integrations.
In addition, I make fairly extensive use of my Python, data analysis, data visualization, and general scripting skills to create and develop more powerful workflows that help me get stuff done more efficiently.
I’m also a writer, coder, casual photographer, and general enthusiast of the web, open source, and open culture movements.
