Bio

I am a web developer, author, and a life-long learner.

Interests

Decoupled or Headless CMS
WP GraphQL
WP-CLI

WordPress Origin Story

I got introduced to WordPress.com as a blogging platform. With fascinating customization features, I started building websites with WordPress. My plugin fbf facebook page feed widget helped site owners to display facebook page news feed easily.

From other eCommerce platforms, I found Woocommerce simple and easier to customize.

Thanks to the active community, I am learning more and using WordPress as decoupled or headless CMS with GraphQL, etc

Code is Poetry
