I’m Mitch Canter: a seasoned Director of Engineering, digital strategist, and content creator based in Nashville, TN. For over two decades, I’ve built WordPress-powered solutions that range from polished personal blogs to enterprise-level platforms.

These days, I lead engineering at WebDevStudios, guiding cross-functional teams to deliver innovative, scalable WordPress experiences. My role goes beyond code: I help shape strategy, mentor emerging developers, and cultivate digital products that are both powerful and purposeful.

As an educator at heart, I’ve taken my insights and lessons to stages around the world. I’ve presented at numerous camps and conferences (PodCamps, WordCamps, BarCamps, BlogWorldExpo, Digital Summit… just to name a few) since 2008. I counted them up; it’s well over 60 events, both in-person and virtual.

When I’m not building or teaching, I’m creating: streaming on Twitch, crafting videos for YouTube, or making memories with my wife and kids. If you’re a developer, creator, or strategist, whether seasoned or just starting out, there’s something for you here.
