About Tristup Ghosh
I started developing the website using WordPress from 2010 onwards. Later in 2014 I started developing a WordPress theme for the Themeforest Market place. I also started developing the plugins which help my development process to run smoothly.
My life started changing from 2010 when I started developing with WordPress. The instability of my life was changed into a stable life, which was beyond my expectations. I was living a good life with my family. What else I can expect from WordPress.
Apart from developing the Websites and other applications, I started my research on how the development process can be more smoother and flexible. I started working on WP CLI to developing the automated process for WordPress. I developed a script that helps developers to install the WordPress flawlessly using WP CLI. My Linux knowledge also helped me to write shell scripts. The script can be found in my account at Github. I am also trying to get into the easy deployment process with CI/CD for the developers using Bitbucket Pipeline and AWS.
I slowly become an expert on the theme approval guidelines of Themeforest Market place. Apart from that, I started writing blogs on various topics related to WordPress. Achieved almost 3K reputation in StackOverflow. Developed Plugins in wordpress.org.
Even though I was developed many plugins and theme I never thought of uploading that in wordpress.org. I start realizing that to help many more people in WordPress, wordpress.org will be a better place than StackOverflow.
I joined Kolkata WordPress Community who was planning the WordCamp Kolkata, and thankfully they have selected me as a volunteer. Mr. Subrata Sarkar( WordPress Core Contributor ) and the team who recognized me and give huge responsibilities in WordCamp Kolkata 2019. It was again a tremendous experience with WordPress. Since that was my first WordCamp I tried to fulfill my responsibilities. Become a Volunteer I learned to be more polite and more decent to the people, make many more friends from different regions and countries.
