I’m Sujal Thakur, a 3rd-year IT student who enjoys working close to the system reading existing codebases, understanding how things work under the hood, and improving them incrementally.
I’m especially interested in backend heavy web systems, WordPress engineering, and open source software that scales to real users.
I treat platforms like WordPress as engineering systems, not just CMS products.
- 🧱 WordPress Engineering — themes, plugins, hooks, admin tools, secure data handling
- 🧩 Backend & Web Systems — PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, APIs, request–response lifecycle
- 🔧 Full-Stack Development — MERN stack, authentication, RBAC, deployment
- 🌱 Open Source — contributing to existing codebases, improving docs, fixing real issues
- 📚 Foundations — DSA, OS, DBMS, and system fundamentals
I value clarity, maintainability, and correctness over flashy abstractions.
