Building digital experiences with precision and purpose.

Rikesh Shrestha

Hello, I'm Rikesh

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience building scalable web applications and cloud infrastructure. Currently based in Kathmandu, I specialize in full-stack development with a focus on Laravel, React, and AWS.

My passion lies in creating elegant solutions to complex problems. Whether it's architecting a high-traffic Shopify application or designing a microservices infrastructure, I approach each project with attention to detail and a commitment to quality.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or sharing my knowledge through technical writing.
