What people say
Sajid is a really great developer to work with. His tech skills are undeniable, excellent frontend and especially WordPress experience and work delivered. He is proactive and an excellent communicator. He works with initiative and then communicates great ideas as a real team player. Sajid is just a nice human being as well — he's been a really awesome addition to our team. I would not hesitate for a second to re-hire him and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a great FE/WP dev.
This was another successful project implemented on time and on budget. Highly satisfied and will work with Mohammad again and again. Highly recommended.
It was great working with Sajid. He has a good knowledge of WordPress and completed the assignment without much support. Would love to work with him again. Thanks!
What I build
Products and plugins built under Idara Studio and WebMS Consultancy. The plugins follow one rule: one plugin, one purpose — no forty-block suites, no tracking, no upsells.
Idara Studio
A one-person WordPress plugin studio. One plugin, one purpose — no forty-block suites, no tracking, no upsells, GPL-2.0 throughout.
Idara Reading Time
A Gutenberg block showing estimated reading time with an optional scroll progress bar. Published on WordPress.org. Building it meant untangling a do_blocks() recursion loop and moving the front-end asset to the viewScript pattern.
Idara Business Hours
A Gutenberg block for weekly opening hours with a live open-now status built on the WordPress Interactivity API, split shifts, holiday overrides, and LocalBusiness JSON-LD. Status is computed client-side so it never goes stale behind a cache.
ApnaPixlo
A photo delivery platform for wedding and event photographers. A guest takes a selfie, face recognition finds their photos in the event gallery, and they download only their own.
Idara Setu
School messages that reach the parent. Carries attendance, fees, marks and notices from a school office to a parent’s WhatsApp.
Idara Connect
A WhatsApp Business messaging portal built directly on the Meta Cloud API — no BSP, no third-party middleware. CSV contact import, template sync, campaign builder, throttled queue sending, and delivery tracking by webhook.
