WordPress Developer | Core Contributor | Engineering Team Lead

I’m Mikin Chauhan, a passionate WordPress Developer and Engineering Team Lead with a strong foundation in Computer Science and extensive experience building scalable, high-performance web solutions. I specialize in architecting and developing custom WordPress platforms using PHP and modern web technologies, delivering solutions that are both technically robust and strategically aligned with business objectives.

In my role as a Technical Lead, I guide and mentor development teams, drive architectural decisions, and oversee the successful delivery of complex projects. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including designers, product managers, and QA—to ensure seamless execution and high-quality digital experiences. My focus is not only on writing clean, scalable code but also on establishing best practices, improving development workflows, and fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Beyond client and product development, I’m deeply committed to the open-source WordPress ecosystem. As an active WordPress Core Contributor, I’ve contributed to multiple releases, helping improve and evolve the platform used by millions of websites worldwide.
