Where I've Worked

ThemeBucket (HappyMonster)

Senior WordPress Developer

Feb 2024 - Feb 2026

Led development on HappyAddons (Elementor addon plugin, 400,000+ active installs, 4.8/5 rating), overseeing new features, widgets, and bug fixes. Refactored both the free and pro plugin codebases to a PSR-4 autoloading structure, improving load performance — a challenging migration since the plugin wasn't originally built with that structure. Mentored junior developers and contributed to code review within the team. Investigated and resolved user-reported issues, providing direct fixes and support. Built WordPress MU (Must-Use) plugins and a media-organization plugin.

WordPress Developer

Aug 2019 - Jan 2024

Joined the HappyAddons team; personally developed 60+ of the plugin's 140+ widgets (free + pro) and built 10 major features from scratch, including Image Masking, Display Condition, Particle Effects, Grid Layout, Wrapper Link, Shape Dividers, Tooltip, Scroll-to-Top, Column Order Control, and Global Badge. Maintained and improved other existing features (Cross-Domain Copy-Paste, Equal Height, Happy Clone, Presets, etc.) through ongoing fixes and updates. In parallel, worked on two additional Elementor/WooCommerce-based plugins for the company — one for advanced WooCommerce product filtering by meta data, another for content grid layouts (both later retired) — and an API-driven SaaS plugin-management tool (update, lock, block, bookmark, version switching). Integrated an SMS gateway service into a client project.
