    Bio

    I’m Kamran Abdul Aziz, a WordPress developer based in Mumbai, focused on building fast, stable and practical websites.

    I work mainly with WordPress and WooCommerce, with a strong focus on performance, security and hosting infrastructure. Day to day that means server setup, caching, Redis, Cloudflare, VPS environments and technical troubleshooting.

    In the project I contribute across Core, Core AI, Core Performance, Test, Playground, Hosting, Documentation, Openverse, Polyglots and CLI. That includes core commits in 7.1.1 and the upcoming 7.2, fixes in wp-cli and the hosting PHPUnit test runner, plugin and handbook work, Hindi translations, and three plugins of my own in the directory. I am a member of the Hosting Team, and I mostly pick bugs that have been open for years, reproduce them, and fix them with tests.

    I prefer simple, maintainable solutions that solve real problems and keep working over time.

    If my work helps you or your company, you can sponsor it at github.com/sponsors/ekamran.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started using WordPress in 2008 while building a site with a friend. Curiosity turned into professional work.

    I spent several years with Envato Studio, installing themes, configuring sites, and solving practical problems for clients, then moved fully into development, WooCommerce, hosting, and performance.

    WordCamps changed how I engage with the project. My first contribution was merged during WordCamp Asia, and contributing has been a regular part of my work ever since.
