Engineer. Team lead. Builder.
I’m Ashwin Shrestha, a Computer Engineering graduate and full-stack developer from Lalitpur, Nepal, with 2+ years of experience building and maintaining production web applications in PHP/Laravel and React/Next.js.
At EasyPRwire I lead a six-member delivery team across 6+ internal products. I implement REST APIs and backend features from agreed requirements, review code, fix defects reported by QA and prepare releases, and I have built payment integrations with Stripe, Razorpay, ThriveCart and Khalti.
I’m looking to join a structured engineering team where tested, documented and reliable code is the standard.

Principles
01
Reliable first
Fixes target the root cause and preserve existing behaviour. Every reported defect is reproduced before it is changed, so a fix never trades one bug for another.
02
Tested
APIs are exercised with Postman and edge cases are validated with QA before a release is prepared, not after something breaks in production.
03
Documented
Features and integrations are written up so handover and onboarding do not depend on one person's memory.
04
Reviewed
Pull requests are reviewed against shared coding standards and a clear Git workflow, which keeps the main branch releasable.
Built on proportion
Nothing on this site is spaced by eye. Layouts split at the golden ratio (1 : 1.618), spacing steps follow the Fibonacci sequence, and type grows by √φ so that every two steps is exactly one golden ratio. It’s the same instinct as good API design: a few rules, applied consistently.
