Gaurav Pareek is a web professional and a free software advocate, and has donned many hats in his ~8 year long career in technology. He has experience in running an agency, doing in-house software development, dealing with clients, handling contracts, building WordPress plugins and themes, and doing customer service.
He started using WordPress in 2010, and started contributing to the community in 2012. Gaurav has done small contributions to WordPress core, and has spoken at 3 WordCamps during this time. Currently he works as a Happiness Engineer at Automattic.
Apart from WordPress, he also participates in the Ubuntu and GNOME communities. He spoke at GUADEC in 2016 about the importance of accessibility in software, and in general contributes to multiple other open source projects.
TOPIC: Working remotely, mental health, and life-hacks
This talk is ideally intended for everyone participating, but will be more geared towards people who work remotely, or from a home-office.
This includes freelancers, contractors, parents who work from home to take care of kids, and a lot more people who don’t get to interact a lot with people. However, the hacks I will discuss will be useful for people who work in traditional office environments as well.
Mental health is a taboo in Indian society, and apparently nobody wants to talk about it, especially people who are going through things. In this talk, I will talk about my own struggles about living and working alone, identifying issues that you might have, and some ways to optimize your circumstances to make the most of life.

LiteSpeed Technologies is our bronze sponsor
LiteSpeed Technologies is dedicated to enabling a faster Internet and lowering infrastructure costs through cutting-edge software. The Internet is growing faster than ever, and many large websites and hosting providers still try to alleviate load problems by simply purchasing additional hardware. This tactic is wasteful and leaves sites ill-equipped to meet today’s traffic needs.
LiteSpeed Web Server gets better performance out of existing infrastructure. LSWS’s return on investment is one of the highest in the industry, allowing users to expand without the hurdle of new hardware. Plus, LSWS is Apache-compatible, and sites can be migrated from Apache and up and running on LiteSpeed in minutes.
LiteSpeed-powered WordPress sites have access to the popular LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress plugin, which communicates directly with the server and its built-in page cache. Because the caching technology is built directly into LSWS, overhead is significantly reduced and caching can be done more efficiently than with other PHP-based caches. (Learn more)
