Hello I'm Darren 👋

I'm the founder, engineer, designer and customer support rep for all the things here at Connekt.

Connekt started as side hustle away from my day-to-day job as a web designer/developer — it provided a way to create passive income all while doing what I love to do, which is creating websites, themes and applications with WordPress.

I spent the first 5 years learning the ins and outs of WordPress while focusing on custom theme development for small to medium sized businesses and retainer clients. In 2015, following the successful launch of Ajax Load More I decided to pivot Connekt into WordPress plugin development and the rest is history.

For the past 6 years, the steady growth of Ajax Load More has provided me with the opportunity to continue shipping new features, improve functionality and support the developers who are building some awesome things on top of the plugin.

It's amazing that so many people around the world are using plugins handcrafted here at Connekt. I'm grateful to have found WordPress and I look forward being a part of this community for many years to come.
