I’m a full-stack product engineer from Nepal, focused on turning ideas and unfinished products into reliable software people can actually use.

I’ve worked with international startups, contributed to enterprise fintech systems, and independently built PostDew from idea to production.

“I really enjoyed working with Manish, especially on the Agent Console and Chat Room frontend and UI/UX work. He executed very quickly, handled feedback rounds cleanly, and followed the design direction precisely. I’d absolutely work with him again for similar frontend and UI work.”

From brief to launch

How I Work

Clear communication. Practical decisions. End-to-end ownership.

01

Understand the product

Before writing code, I understand the users, business goal, current product, and smallest valuable outcome.

02

Define the scope

We turn the requirement into clear deliverables, priorities, technical decisions, and milestones.

03

Build visibly

I share progress regularly, raise blockers early, and keep implementation decisions clear.

04

Test and ship

I review the complete user flow, deploy properly, and document the work for future development.

05

Improve after launch

For longer engagements, I continue improving features, fixing issues, and supporting the product as users begin using it.

Fit check

Good work starts with the right partnership.

Good fit

We may be a good fit when:

  • You are building or improving a SaaS product.
  • Your existing product needs an important feature.
  • Your prototype works but is not production-ready.
  • You need support across frontend, backend, or AI.
  • You value clear communication and ownership.
Probably not

Not the right fit when:

  • The work is only a very small coding task.
  • Price is the only decision factor.
  • The product requires immediate 24/7 availability.
  • There is no willingness to define the scope.
  • A large production platform is expected in a few days.
