WordPress Origin Story

In 2022, I joined ThemeGrill and worked on plugins with 70K+ active installs. That’s when I learned what production code actually means – security audits, backward compatibility, user feedback at scale. I built the Two-Factor Authentication add-on for User Registration and contributed to BlockArt Blocks ( having 25+ Gutenberg blocks).

Now I’m at WPCenter building AffiliateX, handling everything from Amazon API integrations to background processing. The problems are harder, but that’s the point.

WordPress gave me a career. I’m trying to give back through code, community contributions, and sharing what I’ve learned.
