We get a lot of questions about what makes a WordCamp talk worth attending. Here is our honest answer: it is not the title, it is the person behind it.
These are five people who have actually done the work they are about to talk about. Not theory, not borrowed frameworks, lived experience from inside the WordPress ecosystem. Here is who you will meet on 3rd July.
1. Jakir Hosen – Senior Technical Support Engineer, DFY & QA, BuddyBoss LLC
Session: 6 Years of Remote WordPress Work, What I Learned About Support, DFY, and Staying Efficient
After 6 years of doing WordPress support entirely remotely, Jakir has a clear-eyed view of what actually works and what just looks good on paper. His talk digs into the unglamorous middle ground between Done-For-You implementation and staying sane while doing it, including how he has folded AI tools into daily work without losing the human judgment that real support still needs.
His path started as a developer before moving into implementation and support, and that mix shows up in how he talks about the work: practical, specific, no fluff.
2. Mahfuzur Rahman – Technical Support Engineer, AuthLab
Session: Lessons from Building an AI Support Agent for WordPress Plugins
Mahfuz built something most people only talk about: an actual AI support agent for WordPress plugins. His session is less a victory lap and more an honest debrief. What worked, what broke, and where automation quietly falls apart when a real customer is frustrated and typing in all caps.
He spends his days deep in the kind of plugin issues that do not have clean answers, which is exactly why his perspective on AI-assisted support carries weight.
3. Mumtahina Faguni – Head of Marketing, WebCartisan
Session: Why You Shouldn’t Stop What You’re Doing, How Small, Consistent Steps Took Me from RUET to the Global WordPress Community
Faguni’s story starts at RUET, the same university hosting this WordCamp, and ends somewhere far bigger: a seat in the global WordPress community. Her talk is not a highlight reel. It is about the unglamorous, repeated, small actions that actually move a career forward when nobody is watching.
She has not forgotten what it felt like to be a student wondering where to even begin, and that is who this talk is for.
4. Sudipto Shakhari – Senior Software Engineer, Selise Digital Platforms
Session: WordPress Developer Career Progression, Startup to MNC
Sudipto has lived both sides of the WordPress career spectrum: scrappy agile startups and structured enterprise engineering at an MNC. Most people only experience one. He has the receipts from both, and his talk is built around the uncomfortable truth that neither path is strictly better, they just teach you different things.
A 2017 CSE graduate from RUET, he specialized in WordPress in 2018 and has spent years since moving from startup agility to enterprise-scale work with European clients.
5. Sumayah Islam – Co-founder, Xixify
Session: The Hidden Cost of Freedom, Prioritizing Mental Health on the Road to a 6-Digit Career
Sumayah is going to talk about something most career-success panels skip entirely: what it actually costs to chase a 6-digit income as a freelancer. Burnout, self-doubt, the quiet erosion that nobody warns you about before you start.
She has built a career and a company out of understanding that resilience is not a personality trait, it is something you build on purpose. Her talk is for anyone in the freelance or startup grind who needs to hear that slowing down is not the same as failing.
This Is Just the Beginning
