Dear Community ⚠️🆘,

I wanted to share that, due to personal circumstances and health reasons, I am currently stepping back from my work on open-source projects. I’m incredibly grateful for all the encouragement and contributions from this community—it’s been an amazing journey, and I look >forward to these projects thriving in capable hands.

If anyone is interested in collaborating or taking over project maintenance, please feel free to contact me. I’d love to ensure these projects continue to grow with the support of dedicated community members.

Thank you all for your understanding and support. Warm regards, Varun Sridharan

A self-taught person than a main stream academic, I started development with core PHP for development of websites and applications very early in life. I was introduced to WordPress for the first time in 2004.

I have been a hardcore open-source developer building plugins for WordPress and WooCommerce since 2007. It has been an amazing 13-year journey with WordPress, and I look forward to more!

I ❤️ Open Source!
