Bio

I am Bigul from Kozhikode, Kerala, India โ€” a proud son, husband, and father of two (a boy and a girl), and a grateful brother and uncle.

I began my web development journey in 2005 as a PHP Developer and transitioned into WordPress development in 2007. Since joining the community in 2012, I have been actively involved in organising WordPress Kerala meetups and contributing to the WordPress Photo Directory, Polyglots, Testing, and Support.

I have participated in several WordCamps across India and abroad, serving in various roles including organiser, mentor, speaker, and volunteer. I am passionate about community collaboration, open-source photography, and helping new contributors find their place in the WordPress ecosystem.

Always happy to connect with contributors and learners.

Interests

Nature, WordPress, Traveling, Reading, Writing, Gardening and Cooking.
