I founded ArrayHash and develop ArraySubs. 12+ years building WordPress, WooCommerce, and SaaS platforms.


About
I'm Emran — I founded ArrayHash and I'm the lead engineer of the plugins here. I've spent 12+ years building web platforms, specializing in system design and architecture across WordPress, WooCommerce, and SaaS products. I previously led big products ElementsKit, GetGenie, ShopEngine in Wpmet, and worked in Themewinter, XpeedStudio, and Bdthemes. Before ArraySubs I led engineering as CTO at multiple SaaS and WordPress product companies, including 5+ years scaling subscription and WordPress platforms.
Every guide in this library comes from first-hand engineering of the exact subsystems it describes — the subscription data model, renewal scheduling, off-session Stripe payments, failed-payment recovery, and membership access control. I designed and coded these systems, so the guidance reflects how the software actually behaves rather than a summary of third-party articles.
I'm a registered WordPress.org plugin developer (member since 2020) and the author and lead engineer of ArraySubs, shipping frequent releases to its public repository.
I hold a B.Sc in Computer Science & Engineering from Daffodil International University and work across PHP, WordPress, Node.js, React/Next.js, and AWS. I also maintain open-source WordPress and server tooling on GitHub.
