WordPress Origin Story

Well..it was 2009. When he entered into IT corporate world after completing his graduation (B.Tech I.T).

He was looking for a readymade solution that helps him to build a website. In that search, he came across WordPress and was blown away by its simplicity.

He installed WordPress on his laptop and started using it. In this way, he started WordPress’s journey as a WordPress user.

After that, he explored more and found the endless customization possibilities with the help of plugins, themes. Then he built few plugins and became a WordPress developer.

Nowadays, he is exploring more of WordPress. Going to different WordCamps and meeting new people who live WordPress. It’s fun…
