CEO & Head of Ideas

About

I’m Jewel, founder of FluentCart and CEO at WPManageNinja, the team behind Fluent Forms, Fluent CRM, Fluent Support, FluentLogs and a handful of other WordPress plugins. I have been writing WordPress code since 2009 and still think of myself as a developer first and an entrepreneur second. Most of what I write on this blog comes from arguments we have had inside the team about how to build software people can actually depend on.
