We are thrilled to introduce our next speaker for WordCamp Kerala 2024 – Aakash Krishna Raj
Aakash is the digital marketing manager at Sapling Creations, with 8 years of experience, starting as a content writer and evolving through various roles in digital marketing. He enjoys the constant challenges that come with the job, where every day brings something new.
With little prior experience in WordPress, Aakash built the Traffix website from scratch in just three days using blocks and WordPress’s default theme. This gave him immense confidence and shifted his perception of WordPress from a developer’s tool to a gateway for creative freedom.
Outside of work, Aakash enjoys photography, baking, hiking, playing table tennis, and reading. His future vision is to build a one-man agency focused on businesses that improve people’s lives.
He will take an enlightning session on the topic – From Tool to Gateway: Rediscovering WordPress Through Blocks.
In this session, Aakash shares the story of how building a website from scratch completely changed his view of WordPress. When faced with the challenge of building a site on a tight deadline, Aakash decided to dive in, despite having no prior experience with WordPress. With just three days, he created a fully functional website using blocks and the platform’s default theme. The process gave him a surge of confidence—realizing that if he could imagine something, he could bring it to life himself.
This talk explores the lessons he learned along the way—how he kept things simple, overcame obstacles, and discovered creative solutions under pressure. Now, he can’t stop talking about what’s possible with WordPress and believes that, with WordPress and ChatGPT on our side, anything is achievable. Whether you’re a marketer, creator, or just someone curious about building things, this session is for anyone looking to explore what’s possible when you dive in.
He is currently working as a Digital Marketing Manager at Sapling Creations
