Project Manager. WordPress Contributor. Leadership thinker.
I’ve spent the last twelve years turning ideas into working software — and turning good developers into great teams.
MY STORY
I started as a WordPress developer in 2013 at a small startup. What I didn’t expect was that the job would teach me far more about people than it ever did about code.
Over the next eleven years, my role gradually evolved from writing plugins to leading teams – first as a Tech Lead, and later as Services Delivery Head working with eCommerce, eLearning, and Membership clients. Along the way I interviewed candidates, built training programs, mentored developers early in their careers, and helped the company grow without compromising quality.
What I learned during that time is that most project failures aren’t technical – they’re communication failures. Unclear expectations, feedback that never gets said, and teams that are capable but not always confident. Helping solve those problems became something I deeply cared about.
In 2024, I joined Multidots – a VIP WordPress enterprise company, to experience a different scale of challenge. Today I manage a team delivering projects for major publications and enterprise clients, navigating migrations, complex requirements, and the demands that come with operating at scale.
Through these experiences, I’ve grown not just as a project manager but as someone who believes that strong teams are built through trust, clear communication, and continuous learning. Mentoring teammates, designing training initiatives, and helping people build confidence in their work remain some of the most meaningful parts of my journey.
WHAT I BELIEVE
Most people think leadership means working less once you reach the top.
I think it’s the opposite.
When you lead a team, your job is to remove every obstacle between them and their best work. That means providing the right tools, the right context, the right feedback and sometimes the right conversation at the right moment. Leadership is a service role. The team’s success is the measure.
I write about this on LinkedIn – about communication, feedback, managing without micromanaging, and what it actually takes to build a team that runs well. Not theory. Things I’ve tried, got wrong, and learned from.
WORDPRESS COMMUNITY
I’ve been part of the WordPress community for eight years. It started with a Contributor Day in Mumbai – I came not knowing what to expect, and left with a completely different understanding of what open source actually means: people giving their time, knowledge, and energy without being asked to.
Since then, I’ve contributed regularly, organised local meetups in Thane, participated in do_action events, spoken at multiple WordCamps, and been part of the do_action organising team. In 2026, I joined the WordCamp Asia organising team for Contributor Day – a full-circle moment I never planned but deeply value.
Along the way, I’ve also had the opportunity to contribute to WordPress releases as a Release Coordinator, and was recognised as a Noteworthy Contributor — something I’m grateful for because it represents the collective effort of many people working together.
My goal in the community is simple: make it easier for the next person to show up. Lower the barrier. Create the same sense of welcome that was once created for me.
OUTSIDE OF WORK
I walk every day. Not for exercise, really more to let thoughts settle. Some of my clearest thinking happens somewhere between the first and third kilometre.
I travel when I can. I’m drawn to places that remind me of my own scale – mountains, mostly, and coastlines. Mountains make you feel small. Oceans make you feel how deep things can go. I find both useful.
If you’re working on a project that needs clear direction, a team that needs structure, or an event that needs a speaker who has actually done the work – I’d like to hear from you.
