Shanta R. Nathwani (TantienHime) (@tantienhime) – WordPress user profile

Bio

Equipped with a Bachelor of Commerce in Information Technology Management and a Black Belt in Karate, there’s nothing Shanta Nathwani can’t do. She is a full-stack developer who specializes in WordPress, Node and React with a love for life and learning.

A natural teacher, Shanta spent six years teaching WordPress courses at Sheridan College as well as having given more than 40 WordCamp talks. Her topics include data architecture, custom post types and ACF, as well as beginner topics like posts versus pages and how to create a website in 30 minutes. She served as a QA Supervisor at a software company for 2 years before starting her own company, Namara Technologies Inc., where she served as the President & CEO. After being accepted at Codeable.io as an expert, she is now the Project Liaison Manager for the platform.

When she’s not working, she can be found volunteering as a Co-organizer for the Hamilton WordPress Meetup Group, taking stunning photographs, singing karaoke, and, of course, practicing martial arts.

WordPress Origin Story

I started with http://tantienhime.wordpress.com and then moved into wordpress.org with shanta.ca. I taught WordPress as part of the Web Design & Development courses in ICCIT at Sheridan College, Oakville, Ontario. I’ve done talks on WordPress 101 and Content Architecture mostly. I did my first WordCamp talk at WordCamp Toronto in 2012, presenting a case study for the non-proft, the Malvern Red and Black Society, the alumni association for my high school. This was my very first WordPress.org site.
