Peter Baylies has always been a programmer, a childhood hobby led to a career that he is absolutely enjoying. Peter graduated from NC State University with a Computer Science degree, and worked as a web developer using PHP and MySQL until he found WordPress and fell in love with it. Peter works primarily on WordPress plugin development at Semper Fi Web Design. Peter loves music, science fiction, and “just smart stuff in general”, as he puts it.
