Experience

Jisha Jewels

I've been working with Jisha Jewels to solve their day-to-day issues and ensure their website runs smoothly. I have a regular maintenance contract with them to handle everything technical and manage their website so that they can focus on their business.

Plausible Analytics

https://wordpress.org/plugins/plausible-analytics
I'm passionate about open-source contributions, so I enjoyed Plausible Analytics' concept of privacy-friendly analytics. I collaborated with them by designing and developing their own WordPress plugin.

Perform WordPress Plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/perform
I developed this plugin in order to improve the web performance of a WordPress site by disabling the unnecessary default features, JavaScript, and CSS, which were not required on a specific page of that site.

Shree Wankaner Panjrapole and Gaushala

I worked as a project manager with a team of seven at the DoAction event organized in Ahmedabad. We developed a nonprofit WordPress site using the Elementor plugin and Astra theme, including its pro version of the plugin.

OneCaptcha

https://onecaptchawp.com
OneCaptcha is a modern WordPress form protection solution designed to stop spam without hurting conversions. Instead of forcing every user through a CAPTCHA, it uses a frictionless, adaptive approach that evaluates behavior and only triggers challenges when necessary. It supports multiple providers, including Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA, and hCaptcha, with built-in failover to ensure forms continue working even if a provider goes down. The plugin integrates seamlessly with WordPress core, WooCommerce, and popular form plugins, requiring no manual setup. Built with performance, reliability, and developer flexibility in mind, OneCaptcha delivers secure form protection while maintaining a smooth user experience.
