Robert Abela
Founder & CEO – Melapress
I’m the founder and CEO of Melapress, previously known as WP White Security, which I started in 2013 as a hobby project with the launch of our flagship plugin, WP Activity Log. Since then, we’ve expanded and have also built other popular WordPress plugins, including WP 2FA, Melapress Login Security, and Melapress Role Editor, our latest and youngest plugin.
Previous to my WordPress career, I spent 15 years working in various roles across several software startups, all focused on network, internet, and web application security. My background spans software testing, support engineering, systems engineering, product management, R&D, sales engineering, and also a bit of (basic) marketing.
This broad experience provided the foundation I needed to build a business and develop user management and security solutions that help WordPress administrators and website owners around the world.

My region is: Gelderland
