    Bio

    I enjoy working across multiple layers of abstraction, often simultaneously. Currently, I work at rtCamp as a Software Engineer, where I’m learning by building and contributing alongside experienced professionals, while deepening my understanding of systems like WordPress from the ground up.

    Interests

    Sketch, Hiking, Music

    WordPress Origin Story

    My entry into WordPress didn’t begin with themes, plugins, or “Hello World.” It started the way most engineering journeys do – with notes. Lots of them.

    In January 2026, when I joined rtCamp, I began documenting everything to understand WordPress from the inside out. What started as “what does this hook even do?” quickly turned into exploring core code, block editor internals, and debugging PHP at odd hours.

    Now, I actively explore it – building, breaking, fixing, and learning.
