Building software around the work it needs to do
I’m Damodar Bhattarai, a freelance Laravel and web developer based in Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal. I work with businesses across Kathmandu Valley—including Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur—and collaborate remotely on international projects.
I grew up in Udayapur and studied computing in Kathmandu. My work has taken me from PHP and CodeIgniter to Laravel applications, APIs, administration panels and ecommerce workflows. I enjoy turning a complicated process into something people can use day to day.

How I work
We start with the problem, the people using the system and any existing tools. Then we agree on a practical scope, review the application as it develops and check deployment and handover together. Integrations, hosting and ongoing support are discussed as part of the project.
