Welcome to our series about the VIPs who make WordPress VIP such a special web platform, and an even better place to work. First up: Ryan Sholin (he/him)!
Q: What is your role at WordPress VIP?
A: Hey there, I’m Ryan Sholin, Head of Technology Partnerships. I help big technology companies and folks making cool stuff in the WordPress ecosystem find each other to solve problems for our enterprise customers.
Q: What’s your favorite thing about working at Automattic?
A: The people! The benefits! The culture! OK, trick answer, I guess, because they’re all kinda the same thing. When I joined Automattic in 2017 to work on WordPress VIP in a “Growth Engineering” role, it was because I knew I loved remote work, and wanted to do it somewhere built around it. Automattic’s distributed team—and the culture that’s grown up around it—proved to be a great fit for me, personally and professionally.
Q: What’s your favorite Tumblr meme?
Errrrrrrrr, so, funny story. I definitely signed up for Tumblr when it was new and have used Tumblr before, even for some topical sideblogs, but then I disappeared for a dozen years or so into the vast wilds of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. These days I’m off two of those and keep the third private, so I’m back-on-Tumblr this year.
Which means my meme knowledge is limited, but “blorbo from my shows” is a good match for how I feel about the references that I do get.
Q: Who would win in a fight: pizza, aliens, or crabs?
A: Easy. Crabs. There are more crabs than people think. Lotta crabs. So many crabs. Be wary around crabs, people. Crabs.
Q: Do you have a Tumblr where these fine folks can follow you?
A: Sure, I’m stubbornly public on social networks until I’m not, so you can follow me at @ryansholin (ryansholin.tumblr.com), where I’m theoretically mostly actually blogging about a music project, but in reality I’m also reblogging some art and film and music stuff that I find inspirational. It’s a mood board for middle-aged dudes getting into synths.
I’m also a serial liker, so you may see me throwing a lot of hearts around if I follow you. I’m still learning how and when and why to #reblog-and-use-the-tags-to-comment.
