WordPress Origin Story

Years back, in 2012, I started exploring the world of web development, eager to create websites and bring ideas to life online. At that time, I was fascinated by how a simple content management system could power entire websites, and WordPress immediately caught my attention.
I began experimenting with themes, plugins, and customizations, learning the basics of PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript along the way. Each small project, from personal blogs to simple business sites, became a stepping stone in understanding how to build functional and visually appealing websites.
Over the years, my WordPress skills evolved from basic site setup to full-scale development, including custom themes, plugin development, and performance optimization. This journey not only strengthened my backend expertise with PHP and MySQL but also gave me a deep appreciation for user experience, security, and scalability.
Today, WordPress is a key part of my tech stack, complementing my React, Laravel, and mobile app expertise, and serving as a foundation for creating modern, efficient, and secure web applications for clients worldwide.
