§01About

Engineer by craft, founder by choice.

I've been building on WordPress since 2016. Today I run a group of companies out of Bengaluru and contribute to the platform I build on.

Codetrappers started as a WordPress shop and grew into a team that builds, scales and optimizes WordPress for brands around the world: WooCommerce platforms, headless front-ends, multisite networks, LMS and SaaS products, plus an AI studio for agents and MCP servers.

The work kept branching out, so the companies did too. QuintPro Technologies handles enterprise engineering, CoderVIP covers custom software and dedicated developers, and Orion Reach works with Shopify brands.

Outside client work I contribute to WordPress core (7.0 and 7.1) and the WordPress AI project, edit Kannada translations, publish plugins and themes, and helped organize WordCamp Bengaluru 2026.

§ How I work

01

Boring tech, done well

Proven tools, configured carefully. Clever only shows up where it pays for itself.

02

Own the outcome

A launch is where the work starts. We stick around for the speed, the security and the next version.

03

Give back

We build our business on open source, so we contribute to it: code, translations, events.

04

Automate the dull parts

If people are copying data between systems, that's a workflow waiting to be automated.

Got a project?

Let's build something that lasts.

Rescuing a slow store, planning a headless rebuild or adding AI to your stack: book a call and we can work out what makes sense.
