Karan Khanna
Karan is a self-confessed nerd with a passion for programming and WordPress development. Impressively, he taught himself web development, starting from everyone’s favourite “Hello World” all the way to building and maintaining custom web solutions. Alongside his WordPress experience, Karan also works on other platforms too, including Symfony.
As a backend-focused developer, Karan has an unconditional love for API and would prefer to converse in JSON over CSS. In his free time, Karan likes to play tennis, go for long drives or experiment with BLE devices and connect them with Node and Onion Omega. What did we tell you? #100%nerd
