I was the only engineer on Gradsy. Two repositories, three dashboards for students, counselors and admins, one API behind them that denies every request until a role allows it. Two counselors clicking the same appointment slot cannot both get it, because that rule lives in a database constraint rather than in application code. Background jobs can run twice without doing damage. Architecture, schema and deployment were mine, and so were the bugs. ### You're in Kathmandu. How does that work for a team in Europe/US? I am based in Nepal (UTC+5:45). My afternoon and evening naturally cover a full European workday, making live standups and pair programming seamless. For US teams, my evening perfectly aligns with East Coast mornings, and I am fully flexible to adjust my schedule to ensure we have all the overlapping hours you need. ### How does a company in Europe/US hire someone based in Nepal full time? The same way you hire anyone remote, plus one step: use a cross-border management platform like Niural or Deel. For a flat monthly fee, the platform handles all the legal compliance and tax forms, letting you generate a contract in minutes and pay me by approving a single monthly invoice. If your company prefers to officially hire me as a full-time employee rather than an independent contractor, that is completely possible too; these same platforms can act as an Employer of Record (EOR) to employ me locally on your behalf without you having to open a subsidiary here. ### What does full stack mean in your case? Frontend-heavy. React, Next.js and TypeScript are the strongest part: component libraries, design-system primitives, bundle size, data fetching. Behind that I write Node and NestJS APIs, design the PostgreSQL schema they sit on, and deploy to AWS, Cloudflare or Azure. Infrastructure is the thinnest of the three. I have not run Kubernetes in production. If a role needs it I will learn the cluster, but the platform is not what you would be hiring me for. ### You build with AI. Who is responsible for the code? Me. Agents write the first pass on a lot of what I ship. I read every line before it merges, and the parts that decide money, permissions or data shape I usually write myself. The review is most of the work and I schedule time for it. ### What are you like to work with? I ask what the constraint is before I ask what to build. If an estimate is going to slip, you hear it the day I know. I write documentation while I build, because I have been the only person who could read a system, and that is a bad place to put a team. ## Contact The ask is a 30-minute call: https://riteshkc.com.np/contact - Email: riteshkcdev@gmail.com - GitHub: https://github.com/kcritesh - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/riteshkc - Discord: @riteshkc
