Dario Jazbec Hrvatin
I am a Content Manager for OnTheGoSystems, the company behind WPML and Toolset plugins. Born in Croatia and now living in Slovenia with my wife, daughter, and our chihuahua dog. Also a seasoned musician and singer-songwriter. In the past, I’ve worked as a web developer and spent some years freelancing, then in a non-governmental sector, and also creating websites for a marketing agency. From the moment I started building websites, WordPress has always been my main tool and I’ve never looked back. Working remotely for OnTheGoSystems was a huge thing for me because it helped me work on cutting-edge WordPress technologies (I started as a tester). It also allowed me to connect with the WordPress community and immensely broaden my experience and knowledge. I started going to WordCamps and WordPress Meetups, spoke at quite a number of them, and met a huge number of totally awesome people from all over the WordPress world.
