I take team responsibility very personally. If something gets stuck, I’ll step in and help wherever needed to keep things moving.

Back in college, I was heavily into C++, C#, Java, and .NET, building projects purely out of interest. My professors recognised my work and recommended me for a role as a Backend Developer.

The twist was that the company used PHP and WordPress — technologies I had no experience with at the time. I picked it up quickly, working across a wide range of projects, and that hands-on experience grounded me in the WordPress ecosystem. Since then, I’ve stayed driven by a curiosity to understand the fundamentals behind any technology, rather than just following trends.

Technical-at-heart, curious, calm-but-competitive.

I’m actively involved in the WordPress open-source community. I’ve spoken at WordCamp Asia 2026 (YouthCamp), WordCamp Bhopal 2025, and WordCamp Nagpur 2024, and volunteered at WordCamp Asia 2026. I also contribute to local initiatives like do_action Mumbai and WP Mumbai Meetups.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing cricket on weekends, staying active with fitness, spending time with family and friends, and diving into random topics that spark my curiosity.
