Bio

I’m Jose Varghese from Kochi, Kerala—a region in southern India known for its stunning beaches and picturesque hill stations. I was born during the era when the Tamil movie Roja became a blockbuster, and its songs always made me dream of snow-covered landscapes. Since my hometown has no snow, one of my life goals is to experience the joy of holding snow in my hands and playing in it.

I have created multiple digital products, ranging from web applications to mobile apps, and have helped startups and corporations establish a strong online presence. I am also a former co-founder and co-creator of SuperPWA.

My expertise lies in WordPress product development, PWA (Progressive Web Apps), SEO, digital marketing, web design, and development. On weekends, I enjoy exploring cutting-edge web APIs that enhance the capabilities of the web, traveling, and trying out new cuisines in my city and beyond.

Additionally, I am an active co-organizer, speaker, and volunteer for WordPress Kochi/Kerala and WordCamp Kochi/Kerala events, contributing to the local and global WordPress community.

Interests

Music, photography, movies, traveling, designing websites, gardening, marketing, listening to podcasts, and a cup of hot tea!

WordPress Origin Story

I started my WordPress journey at college in 2010 by making the Computer Science Department’s (association) website. Once I installed Yoast while working on it, I became a great fan of it and started using WordPress and learning SEO from that day. I love to explore and update my knowledge on the web every day.

With a keen passion, I always try to learn something new and love to build something that helps people fascinate me.

WordCamps in Kerala / Kochi:
1) WordCamp Kochi 2017 as an attendee
2) WordCamp Kochi 2018 as speaker
3) WordCamp Kochi 2019 as a co-organizer
4) WordCamp Kerala 2023 as a co-organizer
5) WordCamp Kerala 2024 as a co-organizer
