We’re excited to announce that Julien Melissas will be speaking at WordCamp Raleigh this year! Julien will be presenting to the Developers Track and his session will cover Advanced Custom Fields with WordPress.

Julien Melissas is a 20-year old web developer from Asheville, NC with a passion for clean, efficient code, and re-doing things until they’re just right. Julien loves to learn about new up-and-coming technologies and development workflows. While he works mainly in HTML, CSS (including preprocessors like LESS and SCSS), JS/jQuery, and PHP, Julien has dabbled in JS Frameworks and Ruby on Rails. He has been working with WordPress for almost 4 years now and has grown quite fond of it. Julien now works as a Freelancer and Independent Contractor for a few local companies, where he builds custom WordPress themes and solutions tailored to the client’s needs. Julien loves custom post types, the Roots framework, and of course, Elliot Condon’s Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Julien is also a huge supporter and user of Responsive Web Design, and specifically the Twitter Bootstrap framework, which he has presented on in the past. When Julien is not in front of the screen, people can find him making music, cooking, or out in the yard gardening with his girlfriend, Hana, and their dog, Dina.
