WordPress Origin Story

I started on Blogger for a university assignment in which I had to keep a journal. I decided to keep blogging and in the process learned HTML and CSS. When I decided I needed more control and flexibility than Blogger could provide I moved to WordPress and have been hooked ever since.

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
