    Bio

    I’m a Software Engineer at rtCamp with a passion for crafting innovative digital products. My expertise lies in WordPress development, where I specialize in building plugins and custom themes that push the boundaries of what’s possible with the platform.

    While WordPress is my primary focus, I bring a versatile skill set that includes strong proficiency in Node.js and React.js.

    I’m an active member of the open-source community, having made significant contributions to Care, a React.js-based project. This experience has deepened my appreciation for collaborative development and the power of community-driven software.

    I’m excited about WordPress’s evolution, especially the Gutenberg editor and modern theming approaches. I’m on my way to contribute to WordPress core, aiming to help shape the future of the platform that powers over 40% of the web.

    Interests

    I’m interested in Gutenberg Editor, React JS, its frameworks ( Next JS ), and front-end in general. I like to solve complex and logical backend issues that challenge me with limiting constraints.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I first came across WordPress when I was building an e-commerce platform for one of my freelance clients and WordPress helped me a lot in speeding up the overall process and delivering the e-commerce application within days.
