In his leisure time, Azey enjoys exploring places quite often through a book, and likes to click as many beautiful things as nature has to offer.

WordPress Origin Story

A journalist friend quit his job in 2007 and sought an online platform to continue writing. I created a site for him using WordPress. This was my first experience using WordPress. The platform’s simplicity got me hooked, and in 2009, I used WordPress and WooCommerce to create an online store for a client. This was just the beginning of my journey with WordPress.
