Bio

Shahi here. Product Manager at WPPOOL and working at the intersection of design, development, and strategy to create WordPress solutions that are functional, user-friendly, and impactful. My focus is on building products that simplify workflows, solve real problems, and add value to the community.

My journey began with a deep interest in UI/UX design, exploring how thoughtful interfaces can make technology approachable and intuitive. One project I’m particularly proud of is revamping and reshaping the UI/UX of WP Dark Mode, the most widely used dark mode plugin for WordPress, making it easier, more enjoyable, and shaping the experience for users.

This hands-on experience sparked my curiosity about the bigger picture, how products are planned, built, and iterated to serve real needs. Which naturally led me to product management. Today, I collaborate closely with design, development, and QA teams to deliver WordPress solutions that are user-focused, reliable, and scalable. I’m passionate about combining creativity and technology to build products that empower users and make life a little easier.

Looking ahead, my goal is to keep learning, sharing, and contributing both to the products I work on and the wider WordPress community. I believe that great products come from collaboration, curiosity, and care, and I’m excited to continue building solutions that inspire and make a real impact.

WordPress Origin Story

2013: Explored WordPress for the first time. Started out just for fun with personal projects. The kind of “let’s see what this button does” curiosity.

2014 – 2021: Slowly turned curiosity into freelance gigs. Nothing too hardcore, just helping people build sites here and there while keeping WordPress as my creative playground.

2022: Joined a WordPress-based company as Product Designer and jumped back into the ecosystem with way more energy than before. Since then, I’ve been all about shipping cool products and making WordPress experiences smoother for users.

2023: Big year!
– Attended WordCamp Sylhet 2023.
– Also joined Contributor Day with a vision to give back to the community.

2024: Kept the momentum going and joined WordCamp Sylhet 2024.
