September 25, 2017 — Bryce will talk about how he got to start the Metorik startup. His life as a developer and WordPress community member started as a traveling freelancer. Laos, Thailand, Korea, and now based in Australia.

After doing freelance jobs, he joined WooThemes, the owner of WooCommerce, which later got acquired by Automattic. So he joined Woo, joined Automattic, and he left the company to start his Metorik. In this talk, he’ll show how he’s found his life so far, why Metorik? why by himself, and what the startup business is about.

このセッションでは、Metorik という WooCommerce アナリティクスのスタートアップビジネスを始めることになった背景について話します。

彼の開発者・WordPress コミュニティメンバーとしての人生は、ノマドスタイルで旅行をしながらフリーランスをしていたことからスタートしました。オーストラリア出身のブライスはラオス、タイ、韓国に住んだ後、今はまたオーストラリアに在住しています。各国でフリーランスとして働いた後、WooCommerce の運営元であった WooThemes に雇われ、Automattic による同社の買収により移籍。その後、Metorik を立ち上げるために独立しました。なぜ彼が一人で Web サービスを運営することにしたのか、数ある選択肢の中から Metorik のようなビジネスモデルを選んだ理由など、興味深い話が聞けるでしょう。

August 13, 2015 — We’ve spent almost a decade perfecting the art of adding settings to WordPress, in hopes of improving the user experience. Instead, we’ve destroyed it. I talk about how we can make decisions for users, shape the settings experience based on a user’s environment and specific needs, along with looking at how low-level AI (artificial intelligence) can be used to reimagine the entire settings experience in not just WordPress, but all software (and maybe even the world).
