# Senior PHP & WordPress Developer in Nepal — building software that ships on time.

I'm **Umesh Ghimire**, a senior software developer and project manager with **12+ years** shipping WordPress plugins, Laravel applications and custom PHP/JavaScript systems. Past roles at **ThemeGrill** and **MantraBrain** shaped how I lead teams and deliver products clients can actually maintain.

## Hire a senior PHP & WordPress developer who ships

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

### Custom WordPress Plugins

Production-ready plugins built to WordPress coding standards — booking systems, LMS, registration, integrations. The kind of code that survives core updates.

- Plugin architecture & review
- WooCommerce & Gutenberg
- WordPress.org submission

### Laravel & PHP Applications

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

- API design & integrations
- Auth, billing, multi-tenant
- Performance tuning

### Project Management

Sprint planning, hiring, code review and stakeholder reporting for engineering teams that need a senior hand to keep delivery predictable.

- Sprint & roadmap ownership
- Developer hiring & mentoring
- Process & quality gates

### 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.
