Hello!
I'm Eshaan Dabasiya, a systems-minded software engineer focused on architecting high-performance backends and contributing to the future of open source.
Get in touch [email protected]
Background
I’m a Software Engineer at rtCamp and a Gutenberg Core Committer. I’m a 2-time Noteworthy Contributor (Top 50) for WordPress 6.8 and 6.9, and have shipped code in four WordPress releases, from 6.7 through 7.0. I recently graduated from Ahmedabad University.
I enjoy bridging the gap between engineering and design. My goal is to build scalable, efficient systems while contributing to the open-source ecosystem. To date I have contributed 240+ pull requests to the WordPress Gutenberg repository.
When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably playing cricket, hanging out at the beach, or traveling.
