I'm Anup Kankale, a WordPress Developer, Open Source Contributor, AI Integration Specialist, and Automation Builder based in Mumbai, India. My journey started with WordPress and never stopped evolving. What began as theme customization grew into custom plugin architecture, WooCommerce development, REST API integrations, headless WordPress applications, and contributing code to WordPress Core itself. Today, I help businesses build scalable digital products while adopting AI and automation in ways that create measurable business value. I don't just install plugins and call it a day. I write the plugins. I build the themes. I design the architecture. And when a client needs functionality that doesn't exist yet, I build it from scratch. My work sits at the intersection of WordPress, AI, and automation. I help businesses modernize their operations by integrating AI into existing workflows, automating repetitive processes, connecting systems through APIs, and building intelligent digital experiences that save time and increase efficiency. My core expertise includes: • Custom WordPress Plugin Development • Custom Theme Development • WooCommerce Development & Customization • WordPress REST API Development • Headless WordPress with Nuxt.js, TypeScript & Tailwind CSS • API Integrations & Workflow Automation • Performance Optimization & Core Web Vitals • AI Integration & AI Adoption Strategy • RAG Chatbots & Knowledge Assistants • Semantic Search & AI-Powered User Experiences • n8n, Agentic Workflows & Business Process Automation I work with organizations that want to move beyond AI experimentation and implement practical solutions that improve customer experience, internal productivity, and operational efficiency. Whether it's connecting AI models to WordPress, building knowledge-based chatbots, automating content workflows, integrating CRM and business systems, or creating AI-powered customer experiences, I focus on solutions that deliver real outcomes rather than hype. As a WordPress Core Contributor, code I've contributed helps power WordPress installations used by hundreds of millions of websites worldwide. I'm also an active supporter of open source through plugin development, community contributions, and participation in WordPress events.
