About me

I'm a Full Stack WordPress Engineer based in Surat, India, with 7+ years leading agency-scale customizations at BuddyBoss — community platforms, LMS, WooCommerce, and multi-vendor stores for clients worldwide.

I've worked across hundreds of WordPress plugins — building, customizing, and integrating them — and more recently weaving modern AI workflows into Gutenberg, content tooling, and editor experiences.

Past teams: BuddyBoss Media, Easily Amused, ExpressTech Systems, rtCamp, Upwork. Currently open to senior full-stack roles, remote preferred.

05Kind words

Kind words from clients

A few words from the business owners, founders and CEOs I've had the chance to work with.

I highly recommend Suraj. It's been a pleasure working with him. After 5 freelancers, unsatisfied for different reasons, I started working with Suraj — he is my best find. Technically sound, Suraj listens to the requirements carefully and comes with more than one solution for me to choose from. His turnaround time is quick — delivered most of the tasks the same day. I will definitely work with him in the future.
Rama Owner, yogis.shop
Suraj was prompt in responding and completing the work. He documented everything and asked relevant questions. He informed me about the approach before making any changes. I am happy with his work and will rehire.
Dan Asbill United States
Even in the middle of his night, he was available and started on the small project immediately.
