Stoyan Georgiev is a WordPress developer with over five years of experience at SiteGround. He’s been heavily involved in developing the award-winning SiteGround Security and SiteGround Optimizer plugins, currently used by over two million websites worldwide. A WordPress core contributor since the start of his career, Stoyan is currently serving as a core triage lead for WordPress 6.7.

He’s a regular at WordCamps and meetups worldwide, passionate about connecting with fellow WordPress experts and users. When not coding, Stoyan likes to freestyle at the podiums of various events, though his greatest performance to date was seamlessly merging two branches at his own wedding – all without a single conflict.

When not coding, Stoyan enjoys the outdoors, balancing his tech expertise with real-world adventures.

Ignat Georgiev is a senior WordPress developer with over 10 years of diverse experience in the field. His journey has taken him from crafting bespoke client solutions in agency setting to architecting plugins used by millions worldwide in his current role at SiteGround. A frequent traveler to WordCamps and meetups, Ignat is deeply engaged with the WordPress community – both as a member and contributor. 

When not immersed in code, he’d like to think that you’ll find him taking walks on the beach with his beloved Shiba Inu – Nori, exploring new technologies, or discovering new corners of the world. In reality, he’s probably just debugging that one stubborn function while Nori patiently waits for her overdue walk, likely chewing on Ignat’s favorite SiteGround socks.
