My contributions to WordPress have been a journey of growth, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to enhancing the platform’s reach and usability. As a core contributor to versions 6.4 through 6.6, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside talented individuals to push updates that improve WordPress for users worldwide.
Beyond code, I’m deeply involved in the WordPress Training Team as an administrator handling multiple roles like content creator, editor, and translation coordinator. I help to ensure that WordPress resources are accessible and understandable for a diverse audience. I also support new contributors through initiatives like the Training Team Cohort Program and the Bengali Polyglots onboarding project, providing mentorship and guidance to those just beginning their journey within the WordPress community.
One of my proudest achievements has been contributing to the TT4 and TT5 block themes, helping to bring contemporary design standards and customization options into WordPress’s theme library. I also published my own block theme on WordPress theme directory that helps people to create stunning design medical websites.
At community events like WordCamp Sylhet 2024 I led the Training Table, I have connected with developers, educators, and WordPress enthusiasts who inspire me to keep pushing the platform forward. My contributions are driven by a passion for making WordPress accessible, intuitive, and globally relevant, and I look forward to further expanding this mission.

My journey with WordPress began during my post-graduation (MCA), where I chose the platform for my final year project. This initial exposure laid the foundation for a career I’m incredibly passionate about. In January 2023, I embarked on my professional path as a WordPress intern, a role that opened countless doors for growth within both the platform and its vibrant community.
Attending WordPress meetups has not only expanded my technical skills but also connected me with inspiring individuals who shared their insights into the WordPress ecosystem. These interactions have deepened my understanding of how WordPress and its community work together, igniting a strong desire to contribute and help others realise the platform’s potential.
As I began actively contributing, my passion and expertise flourished. I found myself eager to learn and to empower others, particularly women, within the WordPress community. It’s fulfilling to see the growth and success of those I’ve encouraged to explore the opportunities WordPress offers.
My active contributions within the WordPress community have earned me several badges, each representing a distinct role: Core Contributor, Pattern Author, Photo Contributor, Training Contributor, Translation Contributor, WordCamp Organizer.
Becoming an organiser for the WordPress Ahmedabad community has been transformative. My involvement in organising past events like WordCamp Ahmedabad 2023 and Do_Action 2024 allowed me to contribute actively, strengthen the community, and foster regular meetups where individuals connect and contribute. I take great pride in these achievements and the opportunity to support a thriving local community.
Currently, I am contributing to WordPress 6.7 as part of the Testing Team, working to ensure the platform’s stability and reliability. My engagement with the Training Team continues, as I help create resources that empower users. I am also honoured to serve as an organiser for WordCamp Ahmedabad 5.0, coming up in 2025.
This journey has been both inspiring and fulfilling, and I am continually excited to expand my contributions as a professional WordPress developer. Being part of this passionate, collaborative community has been a rewarding experience, and I look forward to future achievements with WordPress and its dedicated community.
