Liton Arefin (@litonice13) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I’m a husband, father, and WordPress developer living in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where I primarily contribute to the WordPress ecosystem through theme and plugin development, translation contributions, and community engagement. As the CEO of Pixar Labs (formerly Jewel Theme), I focus on creating innovative solutions for WordPress users. In my free time, I watch cricket, explore new technologies in WordPress and React JS, and work on solving real-life problems through web development.

I’ve also had the opportunity to serve as:

– Speaker at WordCamp Biratnagar 2018 at Biratnagar, Nepal
– Speaker at WordCamp Malaysia 2023 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
– Sponsor for WordCamp Kathmandu 2022 at Kathmandu, Nepal
– Attendee at WordCamp WordCamp Asia 2023 at Bangkok, Thailand
– Attendee at WordCamp Sylhet 2023 & 2024 at Sylhet, Bangladesh
– Attendee at WordCamp Asia 2025 at Manila, Phillipines
– Organizer at WordCamp Dhaka 2025 at Dhaka, Bangladesh

You can usually find me creating unique WordPress plugins and themes or contributing to the WordPress community through various channels.

WordPress Origin Story

I’ve been hacking on WordPress since 2008. Since 2012, I started my professional journey as a WordPress developer at Starhost, a local company. In 2013, I moved to JoomShaper (now rebranded as Ollyo) as a Senior WordPress Developer.

In 2014, I founded Jewel Theme (now Pixar Labs), started developing WordPress plugins and themes for Envato Market. By 2018, I shifted focus to creating “Master Blocks for Gutenberg” and became a WordCamp Speaker at WordCamp Biratnagar, where I fell in love with Nepal’s community.

2019 saw the development of “Master Addons for Elementor”, which now boasts over 40,000 active installs. In 2021, I developed another significant plugin “WP Adminify”, which customizes and enhances the WordPress admin experience. My journey continued with speaking at WordCamp Malaysia in 2023 and Organizer at WordCamp Dhaka, 2025.

Throughout this journey, I’ve discovered my passion for creating tools that help others build and maintain their WordPress sites, constantly striving to improve the WordPress experience for users worldwide.
