Deepak Gupta (@raftaar1191) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I’m a seasoned WordPress developer with over 10 years of experience building, scaling, and maintaining custom websites, plugins, and themes. My expertise lies in WooCommerce, GiveWP, and BuddyBoss, with a strong focus on performance optimization, UI/UX, and seamless third-party integrations.

I approach development with a problem-solving mindset—balancing clean code with real-world usability. I believe great digital experiences come from understanding not just the tech, but the people using it. Whether I’m optimizing a checkout flow, customizing a donation form, or integrating with third-party APIs, I strive to build solutions that are intuitive, reliable, and future-proof.

I’ve worked with teams of all sizes, from startups to established product companies, and I’m comfortable collaborating across design, marketing, and sales to make sure every feature delivers value. I care deeply about maintainability, scalability, and making life easier for the next developer who touches the code.

Let’s build something that works beautifully—and lasts.

Interests

WordPress development, automating workflows, solving complex problems, learning new technologies, optimizing user experiences, building custom plugins, collaborating with teams, exploring new tools, mentoring junior developers, contributing to open-source, writing clean and maintainable code, analyzing user behavior, creating meaningful digital experiences, simplifying processes, and constantly improving my craft.

WordPress Origin Story

By degree, I’m an accountant. I started my career working as a cashier at a private bank, and while it was stable, it never really excited me. I quickly realized that routine wasn’t for me—I wanted something that challenged me, something creative and hands-on.

So I took a leap.

I started exploring different fields, trying out whatever I could get my hands on. That journey eventually led me to web development. It was like stepping into a whole new world—one where I could build something from scratch and actually see it come to life.

That’s when I discovered WordPress.

What started as curiosity turned into obsession. The simplicity, the flexibility, the community—it just made sense. I began learning everything I could, building small projects, creating custom themes, and then diving into plugin development. Over time, WordPress didn’t just become a skill—it became my career.

Leaving banking was a risk, but finding WordPress made it all worth it. It gave me a purpose, a craft, and a way to create real impact through technology.
