My WordPress Contribution Journey

Coming from a small village where electricity was scarce and studying for my 10th grade was a challenge, my journey into the world of WordPress has been nothing short of extraordinary.i have started my journey with php and WordPress 2013 and 6 months ago I wasn’t know what is WordPress. Right now, With over 10 years of experience in WordPress, I’ve built a career that I’m incredibly proud of, overcoming obstacles and pursuing my passion for the platform. Today, I’m the WordPress Project Manager at Intelligent IT Hub Pvt. Ltd., overseeing a wide array of WordPress projects with a focus on driving innovation and delivering results.

But my story doesn’t stop there. I’m also the founder of the WP Lovers Team, an initiative I started to help fellow WordPress enthusiasts. Every weekend, I dedicate time to support and guide others via social media, sharing insights and helping people navigate their WordPress journeys.

WordPress and Community Involvement

My involvement in the WordPress community has been immensely fulfilling. I contribute as an organizer for official WordPress workshops and meetups, serve as a translation reviewer, and Organizer for the Learn WordPress meetup group. Hosting live events for new contributors and ensuring the quality of educational materials is something I’m deeply passionate about.

I’ve also had the incredible honor of contributing to multiple WordPress core versions, from 5.7 through to 6.6. I am continuously learning and giving back, training newcomers to the WordPress Training Team through the Guide Program.

WordPress International Events and Meeting Matt

One of the most significant moments in my journey was attending an international WordPress event where I had the chance to meet Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress. It was a surreal experience, and I am deeply grateful to the WordPress community for making moments like this possible.

Everything I’ve achieved in my career, from mastering front-end development to leading projects, is thanks to WordPress and its incredible community. To all the WordPress folks who’ve supported me along the way: I owe it all to you, and I love this journey! ❤😘🤟

“I’ve always wanted to leave a digital signature behind me within the open-source ecosystem, I was thankfully able to contribute to WordPress Core to help make it better. This entire experience has simply been amazing. I hope the collective signatures of the WordPress Community will make a better worldwide experience, not just for us but for future generations to come.” 

Since May 2023, my journey as a WordPress contributor has been nothing short of incredible. It’s been a whirlwind of learning and growth, and I feel truly honored to have the opportunity to give back to the WordPress community, which has given me so much in return.

My involvement with WordPress has been a journey filled with passion and dedication. The WordPress platform has become more than just a tool; it’s a vibrant and dynamic community that fosters creativity and collaboration. Being a part of this community has been a tremendous privilege and an incredibly rewarding experience.

In this short time, my contribution to the WordPress ecosystem has been a remarkable learning curve. From diving into the intricacies of code to engaging with fellow contributors, I’ve expanded my skill set and knowledge in ways I couldn’t have imagined when I began this journey. The support and encouragement I’ve received from the WordPress community have been invaluable in propelling me forward.

I have been fortunate to attend multiple WordCamps like WordCamp Nepal 2024, WordCamp Asia 2024 and WordCamp US 2024, which were all sponsored by Rocket.Net. It has been an amazing journey so far and will be attending WordCamp Asia 2025 as an Organizer, which is pretty much a new journey for me. I am profoundly grateful to Rocket.net for their generosity and support, which will undoubtedly enhance my contribution to the WordPress community.
