WordPress Origin Story

I started WordPress development out of curiosity and a need to build websites quickly without reinventing the wheel. Initially, I worked with WordPress as a user — setting up themes, customizing layouts, and installing plugins. Over time, I wanted more flexibility, so I began learning PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to customize themes and extend functionality.

My first real step into WordPress development was creating small snippets to solve problems — such as adding custom hooks, modifying queries, or tweaking templates. Later, I explored plugin development to automate tasks and meet client requirements. That’s when I really got into the WordPress ecosystem — writing custom themes, building plugins, and contributing code.

As projects grew, I learned about coding standards, performance, security, and scalability. Eventually, I began developing full-fledged WordPress solutions (plugins, SaaS integrations, WooCommerce sites) and even contributing to open-source repositories.
