Pratik is a Web Strategist at Catch Themes, working on theme and plugin development. From an early age, writing code is what Pratik found really easy, fun and rewarding. He has been working on WordPress since 2013, and is a huge fan of the platform. He finds WordPress more fun than other platforms. The WordPress community is also very strong, and he gets a great sense of satisfaction when other people benefit from the themes he has worked on.

Pratik works mostly on theme development, but spends considerable time updating himself on new developments in WordPress, and contributing to the platform as a Plugin Developer, WordCamp Speaker, Translation Contributor, and a member of the Theme Review team.

Topic: WordPress Theme Review Contribution Session
I will be leading the workshop on WordPress Theme Review, where you will get hands-on experience and skills on how to conduct theme reviews on WordPress. Why should you contribute to theme review at all? There are many reasons. I have found it very rewarding to contribute to the community that has given us so much. In addition, theme review also helps enhance your own knowledge on proper coding techniques, and helps you stay up-to-date with new developments on the platform. Finally, we are all seeing long wait times for our themes to get approved on WordPress.org. It’s time to “Stop complaining and start reviewing”. We can all do our part to help decrease the gaps.

Target Audience: WordPress Theme Developer, Beginners, WordPress Enthusiasts
