Shakya
Full-stack developer building APIs, products, and the occasional side project — from Kathmandu, Nepal.
About
Six years of shipping other people's ideas.
I'm a full-stack developer with 6+ years building web and mobile products end to end — from Laravel and Node.js APIs to Vue, React, and React Native interfaces on top of them.
Most of my work lives in the unglamorous middle: designing the API contract, wiring up payments, making the real-time bits actually feel real-time. I've shipped e-commerce, fintech, healthcare, and SaaS products for clients, and I spend my spare cycles building my own — usually something that scratches an itch I've had personally.
Based in Kathmandu. When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm usually somewhere in the hills around the valley.

Client work
Products I've helped ship.
National Ambulance Dispatch System
Role-specific dashboards for patients, drivers, doctors, and EMTs, with live dispatch status pushed over Socket.io and Firebase Cloud Messaging.
HEI Agriculture Insurance
Admin CMS and user-facing insurance portal for policy management, backed by REST APIs serving both the web app and a Flutter mobile client.

Side builds
Things I've built for myself.
Kharchapatra
Actively building

HookRelay
MVP built
A webhook relay and transform layer — inspect incoming payloads in real time, remap fields, and forward them anywhere with automatic retry and replay.
CV Builder
MVP built
Pick a template, fill in your details, get a polished, shareable public CV with one-click PDF export.

WebSockets in production: what breaks after the demo works
The echo-server tutorial always works in five minutes. None of the actual problems — auth, scaling past one process, reconnection, backpressure — show up until real traffic does.

Vue and React solve the same problem twice — here's what actually differs once you've shipped both
'Which is better' is the wrong question. After building production apps in both, the real differences are about mental model and team fit, not raw capability.

Laravel's service container isn't magic, but it plays like one
Most tutorials introduce the container as 'how facades work' and leave it there. That undersells the one feature that changes how you structure everything else.
