Bio

Hi, I’m Ankur Santoki — a Frontend Project Manager with strong roots in web development and over 10 years of experience in building and managing WordPress-based websites and plugins. I specialize in coordinating development teams and turning creative ideas into user-friendly digital products.

My expertise includes:

Frontend development using WordPress (Elementor, WPBakery), custom themes, and responsive design.

Plugin development, including tools for content import, forms, and third-party API integration.

Experience working with Gravity Forms, Elementor Forms, and optimizing user workflows.

Skilled in managing complex frontend projects from concept to deployment, ensuring quality, speed, and scalability.

I enjoy collaborating with teams to bring innovative web solutions to life — whether it’s optimizing user experience, creating custom plugin functionality, or handling troubleshooting with attention to detail.

Let’s build something impactful!

WordPress Origin Story

My journey with WordPress began like many others — out of curiosity and the need to build something functional, fast. In the early days of my web career, I was managing static websites when I discovered WordPress. Its flexibility, community support, and extendable architecture immediately clicked with me.

I started by experimenting with basic themes and quickly found myself digging into custom code, tweaking templates, and extending functionality with plugins. Over time, I moved from just building sites to managing full-scale frontend projects — using tools like Elementor and WPBakery to deliver powerful, custom-designed experiences for clients.

What started as simple theme editing evolved into custom plugin development, API integrations, and managing development teams. Today, I work as a Frontend Project Manager, but WordPress remains at the heart of everything I do — whether it’s streamlining content workflows, customizing user interfaces, or delivering fast, scalable websites.

WordPress gave me the foundation to grow from a developer into a team leader, and I’m proud to keep building in the same ecosystem that sparked my journey.
