Hire a senior WordPress & PHP developer in Nepal who ships

From a single plugin to a multi-team product roadmap — pick the engagement that fits.

SaaS platforms, REST APIs, internal tools and dashboards built with Laravel — clean architecture, tested, and deploy-ready on AWS or your stack of choice.

Custom WooCommerce stores from Nepal — product configurators, Nepal payment gateway integrations (eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay), inventory and multi-currency. Senior WooCommerce developer for project and retainer work.

Why work with me

Senior, dependable, and easy to work with

12+ years in PHP

Deep experience across WordPress, Laravel, CodeIgniter, Magento and Joomla — boring, battle-tested choices that make your software last.

I lead teams too

Four-plus years as a project manager mean realistic estimates, clear status updates and predictable delivery — not surprises in the final week.

Open-source mindset

Active on WordPress.org and GitHub. I write code your next developer can read — well-structured, documented and reviewed.

Testimonials

What plugin users say
