I’m Dean Sas. I am a father, husband, software engineer, cyclist, reader and a geek.
I live in Chesterfield, UK. London is two hours away, Sheffield is fifteen minutes and the Peak District National Park closer than both.
I am passionate about the web, cycling and reading. Software is eating the world and our attention, and it’s mostly delivered via the web. Cycling improves physical and mental health, encourages nicer urban design and fights climate change. Reading is an effective way of learning, improving vocabulary and reducing stress.
I work for Automattic on WordPress.com, where we’re on a mission to democratise publishing and commerce. We’re hiring.
You can get in touch with me by emailing me: dean@deansas.org or via social media (above).
