Please welcome veteran WordCamp speaker Vladimir Lasky to our WordCamp Sydney 2016 speaker line-up.

Vlad, a Computer Systems Engineer and Actor, discovered WordPress in early 2008 when he first got into blogging.

He immediately recognised WordPress to be a powerful enabling tool to help anyone create a strong online voice with far less effort than ever before.

Today, Vlad is the lead developer at Aussie WP Expert, a WordPress development & consulting business based in Sydney.

He has presented talks on security, spam prevention and speed optimisation at four previous WordCamps.

Outside of WordPress, Vlad is involved with other Engineering/IT businesses including Delivery Command, which develops solutions for delivery vehicle tracking & fleet management as well as Remote Laboratory, which develops remotely accessible laboratories for science and engineering education.

He also has a passion for synthesizer keyboards & electronic music.

As WordPress powers over 25% of the entier Interwebs it is a huge target for hackers and unfortunately many find themselves a victim of this unpleasant crime, disheartened and not knowing what to do about it.

Not to worry!  Vlad will be sharing his strategies and approaches to recovering compromised WordPress sites.

An all-you-can-eat buffet of security tips and tricks.
