I run SoftGlaze as a small studio. I do the development myself and bring in specialists I have worked with for years when a job needs them. Seven years of client work, mostly WordPress, for small businesses in the UK, Europe and Pakistan.

Translation editor for Urdu, with 1,040 strings translated and 1,037 reviewed. Reachable at azhar@softglaze.com.

Six committed credits in the 7.1 cycle, mostly for patch testing and verification, plus a regression test that shipped in core. Eight test reports across seven tickets, most as first or only tester.

I reported and patched #65802, a function that had been assigning to an undeclared variable since 2024, so both of its hooks quietly did nothing. A committer took ownership of PR #12830 and milestoned it for 7.2.

I moderated a patch test scrub during the 7.1 release cycle, and tested the WordPress Contributor Toolkit release candidates. Three issues I filed were fixed before v1.0 shipped.

Plus two block patterns on the Pattern Directory. Every premium feature in my plugins is free.
