I've been building for the web since 2007.
I'm Chetan — a full-stack developer from Shimla, in the Indian Himalayas, working remotely with teams around the world.
I started in 2007 at a Chandigarh development agency, building custom WordPress themes and PHP applications for clients across industries. Eight years of Laravel, WordPress and Vue.js agency work followed at Azure Web Designs — full project lifecycle, from scoping through delivery.
In 2021 I joined Awesome Motive, one of the world’s leading WordPress software companies, where I spent five years as a core developer on SeedProd, RafflePress and MyPayKit — products serving over a million active installs.
I write code with long-term maintainability in mind, not just to ship features. I’m passionate about clean architecture, and I enjoy solving the kind of complex technical problems that quietly improve someone’s day.
Principles I don't compromise on.
Every input is hostile until proven otherwise.
Sanitization, capability checks, nonce verification — habits formed by shipping plugins to a million sites.
Code is read far more than it's written.
Clean architecture, sensible naming, and tests where they earn their keep.
Wireframe to working product, together.
I work closely with design and product teams — translating requirements into clean code.
Performance is a feature.
Query optimisation, edge computing on Cloudflare Workers, optimistic UI — speed is part of the user experience.
Tools I reach for.

AI-assisted development, hands on.
For the past year I’ve worked with Claude AI and LLM tooling in real production workflows — Claude Code for accelerated feature development and refactoring, Claude APIs integrated into developer automation, and agentic patterns for tools that interact with APIs and process data.
