Hiring
Why hire a lead software engineer in Nepal?
Nepal offers strong engineering talent with competitive rates and overlapping time zones for many APAC and remote-first teams. As a lead software engineer in Nepal with 5+ years shipping SaaS and microservices, I combine senior ownership with clear communication in English.
Are you available as a Senior Full Stack Developer in Nepal for remote work?
Yes. I work remotely with product teams worldwide while based in Kathmandu. Engagements can be freelance, contract, or full-time discussions depending on scope.
Services
What services do you offer?
Core offerings include MERN stack development, full stack product delivery, React and Next.js frontends, Node.js APIs/microservices, and broader software engineering for scalable web systems. See the Services page for dedicated service details.
Do you take short projects or only long retainers?
Both. Architecture reviews and focused feature sprints work well for short scopes; multi-month product builds suit retainers or extended contracts.
Technical
What is your primary tech stack?
JavaScript/TypeScript across React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, Express, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Docker, and AWS.
Can you work with an existing codebase?
Yes. Most engagements start with a short audit of architecture, performance, and delivery risks, then incremental improvements rather than risky rewrites.
Process
How do you communicate during a project?
Async updates via your preferred tools (Slack, email, Linear/Jira) plus scheduled demos. Written decisions and API docs are part of delivery.
How quickly can we start?
After a discovery call and scope alignment, most projects can start within one to two weeks depending on current capacity. Contact me to check availability.
Commercial
How are engagements priced?
Pricing depends on scope, seniority mix needed, and timeline. Share goals and constraints via the contact page for a tailored estimate.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Client confidentiality is standard. Mutual NDAs can be signed before detailed technical discussions.
