# About Damodar Bhattarai

I’m a Laravel developer based in Kathmandu, building websites, applications and the systems behind them.

## 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.

## Skills

- **Applications and administration:** PHP, Laravel, Filament and Livewire for business applications, dashboards and internal tools.
- **Web interfaces:** HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Vue.js, Blade and Alpine.js for responsive websites and interactive screens.
- **Data and integrations:** MySQL, SQLite, REST APIs and third-party integrations.
- **Mobile and desktop:** Flutter applications, mobile backends and NativePHP desktop applications.
- **Deployment and maintenance:** Hosting, Linux servers, domains, email configuration and application performance.

## 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.

## Do you work with businesses in Nepal?

Yes. I focus on websites and applications for businesses in Nepal, including education, delivery operations and internal administration. Tell me about your workflow so we can discuss a suitable scope.

## Can we work together remotely?

Yes. I also discuss projects with international teams. We can agree on communication, reviews and handover arrangements before work starts.

## Why use Laravel and Filament?

Laravel provides the application foundation. Filament is useful for administration screens such as records, forms and tables. The public website can use Blade without loading an administration interface for visitors.

## How much will my project cost?

A useful estimate needs a clear brief: the main features, integrations, existing code and constraints. Send those details and we can discuss the scope. This site does not publish fixed prices.

## Can you improve an existing website?

Yes. The first step is to review the current site, its requirements and any known problems. Performance work, content management and maintenance can then be prioritized.

## Will a new website keep my Google rankings?

No developer can guarantee rankings. Keeping useful content and existing URLs, adding correct redirects where needed and monitoring indexing reduces avoidable migration problems.

## Do you provide support after launch?

We can include maintenance and support in the project discussion. The responsibilities and scope should be agreed before launch.

## Can I hire you to develop a Laravel website in Nepal?

Yes. I work on Laravel websites and applications, including public pages and Filament administration. Send the main features, any existing website and the problem you want the project to solve.

## Can you help me build a website or develop an app?

Yes. Website development, Laravel applications and Flutter apps are separate services. I can help work out which approach fits the users, features and constraints of your project.

## Where in Nepal are you based?

I’m based in Kathmandu Metropolitan City. I work with clients across Kathmandu Valley, including Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, and can discuss remote projects elsewhere in Nepal and internationally.
