Bio

I’m a Senior WordPress Engineer from Rangpur, Bangladesh. I’ve worked with WordPress since 2012 and professionally since 2014, mostly remotely, with InstaWP, UpdraftPlus, Rank Math, PickPlugins, WPRiders, Convey Digital and Seahawk Media.

I built InstaWP Connect (40,000+ active installs) from the ground up, led the WordPress team at InstaWP, and maintained UpdraftPlus (4M+ active installs). My day-to-day work is plugin architecture, performance and hard debugging, often in codebases I didn’t write. I also build modern WordPress admin UIs with React and TypeScript, and use AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) every day.

Outside client work, I organize the Rangpur WordPress Meetup and contribute to WordPress Core, translations and Photos.

Interests

WordPress Core, WP CLI, PHP, GitHub, Team Management, Plugin Development, Performance, Debugging, AI Coding Agents, Open Source
