    Bio

    Hello. My name is Sakin Shrestha, a passionate Web Developer, and WordPress Enthusiast. I am keenly involved in WordPress Theme Development, Plugin Development, and Customer Support.

    WordPress Origin Story

    In September 2011, I founded a web development company named Catch Internet Pvt. Ltd. where we developed customized WordPress sites for clients like Moguldom Media Group, Music Business Association, CleverClicks, etc.

    In June 2012, I contributed two free WordPress Themes (Simple Catch and Catch Box) and volunteered as a Theme Reviewer at WordPress.org. Following the high demands of these two free themes that consistently bagged the top 10 most popular positions in the WordPress repository, I formally decided to establish CatchThemes.com. The idea was to continually offer an array of Free and Premium WordPress themes to users through a professional platform. Now, Catch Themes offers 100+ free themes, 80+ premium themes, 20+ free plugins, and 10+ premium plugins.

    Currently, my active involvement is in WordPress Theme Review, Theme Development, Plugin Development, WordPress Translation, WordPress Nepal Community Development and Organizing WordPress Meetups and WordCamps in Nepal. I was also a Speaker at WordCamp Nepal (2012-2013-2014) and various other WordPress Meetups and WordCamp globally.
