Welcome Techjoomla, our 1st Morph Development Partner!

We’re immensely proud to announce our very first Morph Development Partner: Techjoomla! The talented Techjoomla team are currently helping us with the standard upgrade of the Morph template framework to Joomla 2.5, and we couldn’t be more happy and excited!

It all started in Malaysia last year, where I presented Morph on Joomla!Day. In the audience was Parth Lawate from Techjoomla, who after the presentation shared his excitement about Morph and our choice of licensing (GPL).

We had many more conversations, but it didn’t take us long to realize that the skills of our teams compliment each other. We quickly came to the conclusion that a collaboration would be both fun and mutually beneficial.

Fast forward a few months, and Techjoomla is now officially our 1st Morph Development Partner.

About Techjoomla

In 2006, Parth Lawate fell in love with Mambo and Open Source technology. He founded the company Tekdi Web Solutions to provide development services in the Open Source industry.

Since then, Tekdi has grown tremendously. The company now develops and supports several extensions for Joomla, as well as services for  Drupal, WordPress, Magento and Smartphone applications.

In January 2009, the Tekdi team decided it was time to open a separate business with a focus only on Joomla. Techjoomla was launched, and you can now get both Joomla extensions and training from them.

The Techjoomla and Morph team

The Techjoomla team members involved in the Morph development are:

Parth Lawate

Co-founder and director of Techjoomla and Tekdi Web Solutions.

Parth has been working with Joomla since the days when it was called as Mambo, and was a Google Summer of Code mentor for the Joomla Project in 2009.

Beside Parth’s passion for exploring new technologies, he is also an active problem-solver on the Joomla community forums. Follow and talk to Parth on Twitter: @parthlawate

Away from the computer, you will find Parth on his bike or hiking in the mountains…when he’s not reading a book, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Ashwin Date

Co-founder of Techjoomla and Tekdi Web Solutions.

Ashwin has been involved in Open Source since the Mambo days, and actively participates in the development of Joomla by submitting patches and helping point people in the right direction on the Joomla community forums.

Project management, software architecture and user experience are some of Ashwin’s specialities. Beside being full of ideas for new products, he loves focusing on creating shorter turnaround times for projects while still maintaining high quality.

Ashwin is mad about biking! When he’s not outdoors, you’ll find him stirring the pots and making delicious food. Say hello to Ashwin on Twitter: @coolbung

Manoj Londhe

Developer at Techjoomla and Tekdi Web Solutions.

Manoj is a coder and developer at heart. He’s loves writing lines of code, and breathes Open Source. His motto “Let there be peace and free code pieces” is a sign of his mission to achieve excellence in open source development.

In his spare time Manoj keeps on writing, but not code. Instead, it’s paragraphs of stories…which he combines this with his love for coffee and piano music.

Talking about writing, Manoj is a complete Twitaholic and you can follow him on Twitter: @think_green99

Vivek Ghorad

Developer at Techjoomla and Tekdi Web Solutions.

Vivek has a passion for technology, and his professional mission is to create applications that can be used by anybody. He’s relatively new to Joomla, but his motto “favorite work never makes you tired” will take him far in the industry.

Away from the computer,  Vivek loves to play chess and listen to music. He’s active on Twitter, so follow and say hello to him at: @majorvvs
