I'm a WordPress developer, educator, and founder of Gatilab. I've published online since 2008 and built WordPress software since 2009, with a focus on performance, technical SEO, publishing systems, and practical tools.
I'm also a WordPress Core Contributor. Most of what I build starts with a production problem I don't want to solve twice.
- GT Performance handles caching on my personal and business websites: commerce-safe page caching, Cloudflare integration, server-side unused CSS, and Redis in 1 plugin. It replaced FlyingPress for me.
- GT Link Manager manages every affiliate link and redirect I create, with click analytics and geo-targeting. The /go/ links on this page run through it.
- Core Forms powers every form and poll on my websites, plus payments and digital product delivery. I built it for speed: forms without the JavaScript bloat most form plugins load on every page.
- GT ACF Blocks adds 29 production-ready blocks to the editor. The accordions and product boxes across my content come from these blocks.
- GT Page Blocks Builder is a free page builder for people who’d rather write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript than fight a drag-and-drop canvas. It packages the exact workflow I use to build custom landing sections.
- GT Extensions for FluentCart gives my shop external products, exact local prices, and currency-aware payment routing. Readers in India check out in INR without thinking about it.
- GT DeepSeek for AI connects DeepSeek V4 to the WordPress AI Client with reasoning, tools, and web search. I run it on my personal website for ALT text and editorial chores.
- Alpha Chat is my open-source AI chatbot for WordPress, with RAG and MySQL vector storage. It answers reader questions on 2 of my websites right now.
- Functionalities is the utility layer: custom post types, admin cleanup, and the small fixes every WordPress site eventually needs. It runs on my personal and business websites.
- Building with WordPress since 2009
- 850+ clients served through independent work and Gatilab
- WordPress Core Contributor with public work on WordPress.org
- Maintainer of open-source plugins and developer tooling used on live publishing and commerce sites

I maintain open-source WordPress plugins and developer tooling that run on live publishing and commerce sites, my own included.
If one of my plugins or tools solved a WordPress problem you were about to code around yourself, you can buy me a coffee.
It helps when you star the repos you use and even more when you open an issue with steps to reproduce on the one that gave you trouble.
