Sampat Viral (@viralsampat) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I am a web developer based in Gujarat, India, currently working as a Senior WordPress Developer at Multidots Inc., a proud WordPress VIP Gold Agency Partner.

I began my career as a PHP developer and transitioned into WordPress in 2015. Since then, I have specialized in building and customizing themes and plugins, developing Gutenberg blocks, optimizing site performance, and creating solutions for the education sector.

My skill set includes WordPress development, WooCommerce, theme customization, plugin development, site performance optimization, REST API integration, accessibility, and contributions across various WordPress teams — including Core, Meta, Polyglots, and Patterns.

I have been an active contributor to WordPress Core since version 4.9 and have proudly contributed to nine major releases:

– 6.9
– 6.8
– 6.7
– 6.6
– 6.5
– 6.4
– 6.2
– 6.1
– 5.4
– 4.9

WordPress is not just a platform for me — it’s a community I’m deeply passionate about.
