WORK HISTORY
Founder @Ymir Serverless Wordpress Infrastructure
Montreal, QC, CA
I embarked on a solo bootstrapping journey building Ymir, a unique serverless DevOps platform specifically designed for WordPress. Ymir redefines what’s possible with serverless technology in the PHP ecosystem, bringing enterprise-level scalability and automation to WordPress developers without the complexity of traditional infrastructure.Building Ymir in public has been both a personal and professional challenge, allowing me to share the highs and lows of creating a cutting-edge platform from the ground up. As one of the few people globally who deeply understand this niche technology, I’m hands-on in every aspect—from product development and technical problem-solving to community engagement and customer support.Ymir is more than just a product; it’s a mission to push the boundaries of WordPress hosting, giving developers the tools they need to streamline workflows, reduce costs, and innovate faster.

ABOUT CARL ALEXANDER
With over a decade of experience in web technologies, I’ve had the privilege of growing and leading technical teams, delivering complex software projects, and crafting infrastructure solutions for enterprise clients. My primary focus remains on consulting, where I provide strategic leadership as a CTO/Director of Engineering and Principal Engineer on a fractional basis. In these roles, I provide strategic leadership in full-stack development, DevOps, and systems administration to help businesses navigate their most pressing technical challenges. In 2020, I embarked on a solo bootstrapping journey with Ymir, an innovative serverless DevOps platform for WordPress. This project has redefined what’s possible in the PHP ecosystem, pushing the boundaries of serverless technology in ways that few others have explored. As one of the few experts globally in this niche, I’m proud to contribute to the advancement of this cutting-edge field, continually pushing the limits of what PHP can achieve in a serverless environment. Beyond consulting and Ymir, I’ve spent the past decade sharing my expertise as a public speaker, presenting at conferences around the world with a peak of 7-8 talks per year. Additionally, I authored the book \"Discover Object-Oriented Programming Using WordPress\", which has generated over tens of thousands in sales, reflecting my commitment to sharing knowledge and helping others succeed. While I wear many hats—consultant, bootstrapper, speaker, and author—my core mission is to help businesses overcome technical challenges and achieve their goals with confidence.
