Colin Swinney

Colin comes to 10up having spent most of the last decade as a freelance developer working primarily with WordPress. Though originally from Wisconsin (where he currently resides), he began his tech career while living in San Diego, CA, attending local WordPress meetups and WordCamps when he wasn’t trying to learn how to surf. From humble blogging beginnings where his coding interest first piqued, Colin soon found himself working as a contractor for local agencies before eventually taking on clients of his own.

Web development gives Colin the same feeling he gets from being a musician, finding programming to share similar ebbs and flows in its structure to that of a great melody played over a solid harmonic foundation. Code is just like the notes on a staff, written with strict syntactical rules but allowing for infinite creative possibility in its arrangement.
