As an organizer of the Kansai WordPress Meetup, Chiharu has long supported the local community by creating a space where participants can connect and learn from one another.<br>In my daily work, she is employed at an agency that builds websites using WordPress, where she is responsible for developing solutions that address clients\u2019 needs with care and precision. The knowledge she gains in professional practice and the experiences she gains in the community complement each other, deepening my understanding of\u2014and attachment to\u2014WordPress.<br>She also actively participates in WordCamps both in Japan and abroad. In addition to attending, she has supported many events through her lens as a volunteer photographer for WordCamp Asia and WordCamp Europe. Being involved in these flagship WordCamps has given me a profound sense that WordPress has taken root around the world as a \u201cculture\u201d that continues to connect people.<br>This year, she served as the Lead Organizer for WordCamp Kansai 2025, working closely with fellow community members to run the event. Through these many years of experience, I have come to realize that the greatest strength of WordPress lies not only in its technology, but in the \u201cpeople-driven culture\u201d that surrounds it.<br>She hopes to continue contributing to the WordPress community in ways that she can, passing its spirit of learning and connection on to the next generation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/chiharu-nagatomi\/\" target=\"_self\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Chiharu Nagatomi<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-9062 wcb_speaker type-wcb_speaker status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry wcb_speaker_group-announcement-round-7\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group speakers-card__group has-custom-background-gray-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><figure style=\"width:128px;height:128px;\" class=\"aligncenter is-style-rounded speakers-card__image wp-block-wordcamp-avatar\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/chirag-patel\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?fit=128%2C128&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-128x128 size-128x128 wp-post-image\" alt=\"Chirag Patel\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 128px) 100vw, 128px\" data-attachment-id=\"9747\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/chirag-patel\/chirag-patel-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?fit=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Chirag Patel\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/files\/2026\/02\/Chirag-Patel.jpg?fit=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700; padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);\" class=\"has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-388a62735353cf12074a1e30fbffefea wp-block-post-title has-text-color has-accent-color has-large-font-size has-poppins-font-family\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/chirag-patel\/\" target=\"_self\" >Chirag Patel<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group speaker-card__home-meta has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"hidden wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Multidots Inc.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__more-text\"><a class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/chirag-patel\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content speakers-card__content wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Chirag Patel is a Senior Project Manager at Multidots with over 15 years of experience delivering enterprise-level WordPress projects.

His company focuses on WordPress site development, maintenance, and security solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He spent over 14 years in corporate sales, serving as a branch manager and working overseas. From 2019 to 2020, he stayed in Mumbai, India, as part of a project to research and launch a new business. During this time, he met talented engineers and startup founders, and experienced advanced web services and applications with beautifully designed, intuitive user interfaces\u2014experiences that inspired him to step into the IT world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After returning to Japan, he decided to resign from his corporate career and reskill himself in web development. He began with subcontracted coding work, gradually moved into direct contracts for WordPress development and maintenance, and eventually incorporated his own company. Today, he aims to build \u201cthe most trusted WordPress maintenance company in Japan,\u201d providing safe and reliable site operations with a strong emphasis on security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kotaro joined the WordPress community in 2023. In 2024, he had the opportunity to speak at WordCamp Kansai 2024, and since then he has participated in more than 40 WordPress Meetups. He has also volunteered at WordCamp Asia 2024 and 2025. The knowledge and connections gained through the community have had a profound impact on his production workflow and the direction of his business. He has come to see the WordPress community not only as a place for learning, but also as an \u201caccelerator\u201d for career and business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His expertise lies in WordPress site maintenance and security. This includes strengthening passwords and authentication, managing updates and backups, updating outdated themes and plugins, handling server migrations and domain transfers, and addressing malware infections or technical issues. Through this work, he supports clients not only by solving technical problems but also by acting as a partner who helps them grow their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At WordCamp Asia 2026, Kotaro hopes to share his story of how his experience in India inspired him to change careers, and how WordPress empowered him to grow his business. The technology and talent he witnessed in India led him into the IT field, and the WordPress community has supported his transformation and growth ever since. He looks forward to sharing how India and WordPress together shaped his journey with the global WordPress community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/kotaro-kitamura\/\" target=\"_self\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Kotaro Kitamura<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-13380 wcb_speaker type-wcb_speaker status-publish hentry\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group speakers-card__group has-custom-background-gray-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><figure style=\"width:128px;height:128px;\" class=\"aligncenter is-style-rounded speakers-card__image wp-block-wordcamp-avatar\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/krupa-nanda\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/63b312b80b349c169d9a624868c72b0c74c9e89d1ce84030c25cf95a82f6d645?s=128&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" alt=\"Krupa Nanda\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700; padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);\" class=\"has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-388a62735353cf12074a1e30fbffefea wp-block-post-title has-text-color has-accent-color has-large-font-size has-poppins-font-family\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asia.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/krupa-nanda\/\" target=\"_self\" >Krupa Nanda<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group speaker-card__home-meta has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"hidden wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">I\u2019m Krupa, a QA Engineer boasting over 7 years of focused experience in testing WordPress-based projects.
