Ivan Lopez

I am currently a Web Engineer at 10up. I started building website as a freelancer in 2006 while attending college, immediately after taking a course on HTML and CSS.

He has spent much of his career working with WordPress, writing everything from custom plugins and themes to highly specialized code for unique situations. When he is not working he enjoys reading, gaming, and occasionally going hiking. He also finds writing about himself in the third person to be a strange experience, one he tries to keep from repeating.

Élise Desaulniers & Alexandre Simard

We are the founding partners of Desaulniers Simard, a small consulting firm based in Montréal, Québec, Canada. We have spoken at each edition our local WordCamp since its humble beginnings in 2009. In 2013, we organized and participated in an elections-style debate between proponents of different multilingual solutions. We should really close-caption the thing, though.

Elizabeth Pampalone

Elizabeth Pampalone has been creating websites for over 14 years. After finishing a Web Programming Degree at the University of Cincinnati, she ended up in a cubicle as a software developer. When this did not suit her, decided to go it alone and set up shop in Jacksonville, FL. There, she found her passion and a town that needed what she had to offer. She loves to run her business while helping and encouraging the local small business community. She is an active member of SCORE, as well as the leader of 3 networking organizations. She helps run several small business for local owners in addition to being on the advisory boards for several government websites. When she is not pursuing her career, she is out ballroom dancing or sharing a relaxing evening in St Augustine with her husband.

Jesse embraced his true geek nature in 2008 and left an office job as a desktop publisher and editor to be a full-time WordPress community member and formed Petersen Media Group in early 2009. He meets the needs and exceeds the expectations of his growing network of friends who desire websites that they can maintain and has amassed a returning client base of over 200 clients from Australia to Hawaii and many places in between. With consistent referrals from StudioPress and Copyblogger Media, Jesse is highly sought-after by speakers, authors, and small businesses who want a clean, robust, and elegantly planned online presence. He isn’t flashy, but “does the ordinary extraordinarily well – every day.” Jesse and his wife live in Tampa, FL. No pets. Eighteen foster children since 2012, adopting one. They love road trips.
