    Bio

    Backend engineer who enjoys the unglamorous parts of WordPress: writing tests, tracking down edge-case bugs, and tidying up old admin screens so they’re easier to maintain.

    I contribute to Core mostly through PHPUnit coverage and small, well-scoped fixes, and I help keep WordPress accessible to Gujarati speakers through Polyglots.

    If you’re stuck on a test, need a patch reviewed, or want a second pair of eyes on a Gujarati translation, ping me on Slack. Happy to help.
