Rémi Corson built his first website in high school, where, after a few months, he realized he was teaching web languages to his own teacher. Then, he decided to build his own content management system called PHPforge, which was used by more than 5,000 users at that time. He finally switched to WordPress a few years later.
Formerly in the top ten of CodeCanyon's best sellers, the largest code-related marketplace on the planet, Remi worked on Easy Digital Downloads' early versions with Pippin Williamson, and joined WooThemes as a Happiness Engineer in 2013 before the acquisition by Automattic in 2015.
Rémi is a public speaker and code expert. He works on WooCommerce core code on a daily basis and he built/refactored many official add-ons. He was also involved in the first WooConf organization in San-Francisco in 2014, the major WooCommerce-related event. Rémi writes weekly posts on his blog, mainly about WooCommerce, and provides a lot of free plugins and snippets.
He is also passionate about woodworking, surfing, and video making, and is a great guitar player.
