At work... communications (content, graphics and interfaces)
accessed via multiple devices and channels. When free...
traveling, outdoors and vintage bicycles.

After using Wordpress JSON API to render content from the main website on the
Parent Involvement site it was just matter of time for other sites to follow. The
analogy remains the same, fetch and render.
