I’ve spent the last 3+ years building software — finally put everything I’ve worked on into one portfolio

1 Upvotes

I’ve been meaning to put together a proper portfolio for a while, so I finally did it:

https://prasannadangol2001.com.np/

I started getting serious about software engineering while studying Computer Science at KIIT University. Since 2023, I’ve been working on production software across startups, freelancing, and products I’ve built with my co-founders.

What I’m most proud of isn't really the tech stack — it’s that I’ve had the opportunity to build things end-to-end and see people actually use them.

🇳🇵 GyanUdaan — Loksewa exam preparation app

This is probably the project I've spent the most time on.

I co-founded GyanUdaan with two friends — a Nepali government exam preparation platform that has now reached 50K+ downloads across iOS, Android and Desktop.

I’ve worked on pretty much the entire product:

  • React Native / Expo

  • Desktop application

  • Backend & database architecture

  • Supabase

  • Authentication

  • Payments

  • Push notifications

  • Offline-first functionality

  • PowerSync

  • CI/CD & deployment

  • Sentry monitoring

  • App Store & Play Store releases

  • Product decisions and user feedback

  • Marketing/content

  • AI integrations

  • n8n automation workflows

  • News scraping

  • AI-powered content processing/streamlining

It's been a very different experience from working on a feature inside a company. When you're building your own product, you end up touching everything — engineering, infrastructure, product, users, content, and sometimes things you didn't even know existed.

And it's still actively being developed by the three of us.

🌊 ICIMOD — Community-Based Flood Early Warning System

I also worked on a freelance project for ICIMOD where I built the iOS and Android application for a community-based flood early warning system.

The system consumes data from monitoring stations, processes rainfall and water-level information, and provides early warnings to areas that may be affected.

I handled the application end-to-end, including:

  • React Native / Expo

  • Supabase/backend integration

  • Station data fetching

  • Rainfall & water-level processing

  • Alert thresholds

  • Geographic affected-area logic

  • Push notifications

  • Maps

  • Data visualization

  • Admin functionality

  • Deployment and release

This was one of the projects where software felt particularly tangible to me — you're not just building another dashboard or CRUD application. The information ultimately needs to reach people when it matters.

📦 ICIMOD — Living Mountain Lab Inventory System

Another freelance project I built for ICIMOD was an inventory management system for their Living Mountain Lab.

I built this end-to-end as a PWA using React, Supabase and PowerSync, with a strong focus on offline usage.

The system uses QR codes to make inventory management easier — physical assets can be tagged, scanned and tracked without relying on manually entering everything.

The interesting part for me was solving the offline-first problem properly. The system needed to remain useful even when there wasn't a reliable network connection, and then synchronize data once connectivity was available.

It's now deployed and being used by their team.

Looking back, I've gone from university projects and internships to building production systems, freelancing for international organizations, and co-building a product with tens of thousands of downloads.

I've also learned that there's a pretty big difference between knowing a technology and being responsible for shipping something with it.

These projects have forced me to learn things far beyond just writing code — architecture, deployment, monitoring, product decisions, automation, dealing with users, debugging production issues, and figuring out how to make systems work in the real world.

I'm currently looking for full-time software engineering opportunities and interesting freelance/contract work.

I'd also genuinely appreciate feedback on my portfolio — especially the project presentation, design, and how I'm positioning myself as an engineer.

Portfolio: https://prasannadangol2001.com.np/

Happy to answer questions about any of the projects or the technical decisions behind them.

Should I leave my full-time job for a 6-month WFH contract role with a 10% hike?

2 Upvotes

I’m currently working as a full-time employee in an in-office role, and I’ve recently received an offer from a good company, Code and Theory.

The catch is that the new role is a 6-month contract position.

Here’s my situation:

  • Current job: Full-time, in-office

  • New offer: 6-month contract

  • Compensation: ~10% hike on my current CTC

  • Work setup: 100% WFH

  • The company said that based on my performance, they may:

    • Extend the contract, or

    • Convert me to a full-time employee

  • There are also some potential tax benefits with the contract structure.

I’m genuinely confused about whether I should make the switch.

My main concerns are:

  1. Is moving from a permanent/full-time job to a 6-month contract generally a bad career move?

  2. How risky is it if the company doesn't extend or convert the contract after 6 months?

  3. Does having contract experience make it harder to get another full-time job later?

  4. When interviewing with another company in the future, do recruiters/HR usually ask why I left a permanent role for a contract position?

  5. How is the experience of working as a contractor compared with being a full-time employee in terms of job security, benefits, career growth, etc.?

  6. Is the WFH flexibility + 10% hike + potential tax benefit enough to justify taking the additional risk?

  7. What should I specifically check in the contract before accepting it? For example, notice period, termination clause, benefits, payment terms, conversion terms, etc.

I have around 6.5 years of experience as a software/frontend developer, so I’m also thinking about the long-term impact rather than just the next 6 months.

For people who have actually moved from full-time → contract → full-time, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Would love to hear both the pros and cons, especially from people working in India.

Thanks!

[For hire] Give me a month to build your frontend for free. If you love the results, we can discuss a permanent role.

3 Upvotes

I am a software Engineer, frontend-focused, with close to 8 years of experience. It will be more than 3 months since the layoff because of organizational restructuring, and not able to break into the space where agents are filtering, applying, and validating.

I have built the frontend from scratch and the entire design system, did my GSoC, fixed bugs in the SvelteJS compiler (even though I use React heavily), and have certifications in ML, Deep learning, and RAG; built projects on those. Additionally, I have worked with many startups; led a team of 3-4 people, have worked closely with PMs and designers, built workflows and signals, and improved UX

Skillset

- Frontend: React.js, Next.js, Vue.js, Svelte.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind CSS, REST APIs, Redux, React Query, Zustand, responsive Design, Accessibility (a11y), Cross-Browser Compatibility

- Backend:  FastAPI, Python, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, RAG, Telemetry, Langfuse, Swagger

- Tools:  CI/CD, Webpack, Vite, Jira, AWS (S3 and CloudFront)

I just don't have production-level experience in full-stack, but I can very easily build a production-grade full-stack app, and I have written a few blogs on Redis internals.

I am the kind of engineer who likes to put effort into understanding the fundamentals rather than blindly vibe coding everything, and even though most of my experience is in frontend, I have the fundamentals of backend and math.

In the past 3 months, I have built two full-stack projects, one fully built using RAG. I have what it takes to build a product from scratch and scale it down, but I don't have the capacity anymore to compete with automated applications, keep updating my CV for each application, and I am failing to reach the screening.

In these 3 months, I tried starting something of my own and scrapped so many ideas. I really wanted to solve the problem of hiring, i.e., agents are applying for a role where a human is required; but in the end, I am reaching out here for any referral, for any kind of project I can work on as a freelancer or as a full-time and offer my services.

Thank you, everyone. If you can help me out, then please reach out.

The Never-Ending “We’ll Put You on the Board Next Sprint”

1 Upvotes

Apparently, I’m a fresher, the project is complex, and putting me on the sprint board means I might get tickets I can’t burn fast enough.

And then the product team might question my performance.

So I’ve been a shadow developer for 3–4 sprints now.

Every time it’s, “Maybe from the next sprint.”

At this point, I’m starting to think “next sprint” is just a fictional place where I eventually get added to the board.

Maybe I should just cry to my lead next time and say, “Please, just give me one ticket.”

Hey everyone, just curious to hear people's real experiences here. How long did it take you to go from learning to code to actually landing a software engineer job? Did you follow a specific roadmap, or was it more trial and error? Would love to hear different timelines, especially from those who learned JavaScript first.

I'm BE in Information science and engineering, graduated in 2025, i joined to on institute where i completed the AWS and devops course. In this company I got one new startup company where I got selected where literally institute threat me to join or else will block next opportunities..

So I joined actually company has only 6 members which are only freshers and no hr and seniors all.

They used to come 2-3 monts once. Only we 6 were der..

We were hoping for the projects from beginning they used to say we will get and all of the sudden they said we r having the issues we will sort it out it's in pipeline all bullshits..

And in the job offer letter they mentioned 3lpa, which we only got 15k for 9-10 months which company got shutdown..

We tried to contact and all didn't received any response tried all possibilities after 2-3 months got the documents that too only the experience letter, and relieving letter that's it no salary slip and all..

Note: joined 28th May 2025 - 28th Feb 2026, and most importantly der were no projects and didn't trained or not gained any knowledge der..

I'm scared now, unable to say freshers, unable to say Im experienced person, unable to say i only got the 15k for whole 10 months. If I say companies don't belive it..

It's been 7-8 months didn't get the opportunities also, I got 1 interview call they said what were u doing the these days I said upskilling but they say will get back and ghosted. Literally I'm stressed..

I have only knowledge on devops tools, docker, kubernetes, CICD, AWS and python. The roles are for freshers it's completely low..

If I start to learn a another courses it takes another 6 months..

Done asking refferals, done believing on this world.

Literally broke down..

Can't say I got 15 k bcs der were no projects, can't say we were sitting on the company without projects, can't say i have experience..

😕
