I’m Pooja Derashri, and welcome to my little corner of the internet! If you are here, I am sure you want to know more about me, let’s explore…
By education, I am an Electronics Engineer, and by profession, I am a WordPress Developer! I first encountered WordPress in back 2013, and started my career as a Web developer. After I got married to Anand Upadhyay in 2015, we both started our own development agency. Soon, we dived into the WordPress world and founded our plugin development company.
If you’re a WordPress enthusiast, you might have come across WPVibes – that’s where we build plugins to make your WordPress experience even smoother.
But outside of the plugin world, I’m just a regular person who loves the power of WordPress. What really gets me going is helping others unlock that power, too! That’s why I joined the WordPress community way back in 2017, and since then, I’ve been creating resources and hanging out with the Training team.
One of the things I enjoy most is seeing the “aha!” moment when someone figures out something new. There’s nothing quite like that feeling of empowerment, you know? That’s why I love giving back to the community – it’s about making WordPress more accessible for everyone.
Speaking of giving back, I’ve also had the honor of serving in some leadership positions within WordPress. In the past year, I was the Core Test Team Rep, and before that, I helped support the Training team and even co-represented them for a while.
So, that’s a little bit about me! If you ever have any questions about WordPress or just want to chat, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help in any way I can.
It’s not what happens to you, but how you react that matters.
