Gobinda Tarafdar — WordPress product marketer by trade, stubborn problem-solver by habit, lifelong Harry Potter devotee by heart.
By day I am the Product Marketing Specialist at WPBakery, the page builder that quietly powers a sizeable corner of the WordPress universe. Before that, I helped a single plugin cross 400,000+ active users. When the day-job owl flies home, I tinker on my own workshop of spells. Aligner is one of them.
