Let’s get to know well known speaker Mike Hale!<\/p>\n

What drives you to speak at WordCamps?<\/h2>\n

I like to give back and share things I’ve learned with other WordPress folks!<\/p>\n

What would you like to see change about the WordPress platform in the next 5-10 years?<\/h2>\n

I think WordPress is moving to being an application platform rather then just a CMS. I’d like to see more database options and a better way of storing data than the current Post Meta system.<\/p>\n

Who do you think is under represented in the WordPress community?<\/h2>\n

I think the people that work day to day in WordPress but don’t sell a theme or plugin, or contribute to WordPress aren’t seen as much as those that are more active in the community.<\/p>\n

What was the most challenging WordPress project you\u2019ve worked on?<\/h2>\n

Using WordPress as a basis for the Rainmaker Platform was the largest WordPress project I’ve ever worked on.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a problem you recently solved creatively using WordPress?<\/h2>\n

Building an interactive admin plugin using React.<\/p>\n

Where can people find more about you?<\/h2>\n
