Hey! I’m Daniel Kossmann,
welcome to my Public Learning Blog

I really like lists, so I made one to describe myself:

  1. Lifelong Learner: I believe in continuous learning and the power of sharing knowledge, which is why I advocate for open source, Creative Commons, and open web initiatives.
  2. Professional Journey: I work as an AI Product Manager at Extendify and have a background as an Engineering Manager and Full-Stack Web Developer.
  3. WordPress Expertise: Over 15 years in the WordPress ecosystem, I have been featured in People of WordPress and have organized monthly community meetups for 7 years.
  4. Interests: Product Management, Artificial Intelligence, Productivity, and WordPress.
  5. Content Creator: In addition to this blog, I’ve been writing PainelWP, a weekly newsletter about WordPress in Portuguese, since June 2019.
  6. Hobbies: I love watching movies and wrote reviews as a hobby for a few years. I also enjoy drawing, especially with watercolors.
