WordPress Origin Story

I have been working with WordPress since 2010. In my previous company, I built many client-based websites using WordPress. Currently, I’m working at Indian Express, where I’ve been involved with WordPress development for the past 11–12 years. Most of our projects are hosted on WordPress VIP, and through this, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the WordPress core structure.

I’ve worked extensively with WordPress VIP coding standards, contributing to large-scale projects at Indian Express. I’ve developed custom plugins and themes and focused heavily on creating a user-friendly experience for editors. Over the years, I’ve achieved a lot through WordPress and continue to grow with the platform.
