Tom Herudek portrait

I keep WordPress running at scale and build AI Agents.

Hundreds of sites. A team of engineers. And a growing pile of automations that take the boring work off people’s plates. This is where I think out loud about reliability, WooCommerce, and practical AI.

What I’m into right now

WordPress scale & reliability

Managing a platform of hundreds of sites teaches you what actually breaks WordPress under load, and how teams keep it fast, safe, and boringly dependable.

AI agents

Building automations that do real work: support, ops, data. The useful 20% of AI, minus the hype.

Keeping commerce fast and stable when every second of downtime is lost revenue.
