    Bio

    We build and run WordPress, above all for newsrooms that must stay up when news breaks. Our plugins come from that work, often for Arabic and right-to-left sites.

    Interests

    Arabic and right-to-left sites, newsroom publishing, performance at scale, open source

    WordPress Origin Story

    It started inside a broadcaster’s newsroom in Dubai, where WordPress kept the editors moving and AWS absorbed the traffic spikes. After five years of running that in production, Jaafar Abazid founded ManTek in 2025 to give other newsrooms the same foundation.
