Shane Jones has well over 10 years' experience in web development, starting in 1999, when he first picked his way around HTML and PHP on a computer that his father bought for him. Based in Manchester, he is currently the Technical Director at mycleveragency, one of the leading social media agencies in UK. Here he is responsible for overseeing all aspects of social media development, mainly building Facebook and Twitter applications for their ever-growing client base, and then producing innovative apps that have been served to many millions of users.

Outside his day-to-day role, Shane likes nothing more than hacking his way through new technologies. Shane now has a thriving passion for WordPress, building numerous plugins and themes. This led him to become a partner at Peadig, which is a WordPress framework that was conceived in 2011.
