About Utsav

I'm a full-stack software developer based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, with 3+ years of experience building web platforms for clients in Canada, the UK, Australia, Israel and Nepal.

I'm studying for an MSc in Computer Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) and work at Verisult as a Digital Systems & Web Intern through MUN's Graduate Internship Program, where I'm building the Verisult College website. Before that I completed a BSc CSIT at Vedas College in Nepal, graduating as the CS faculty topper, and worked as a developer at companies in Nepal and the UK.

My work covers custom web development (Laravel, PHP, Next.js), e-commerce (WordPress/WooCommerce, NopCommerce, OpenCart) and VPS management with Virtualmin, CloudPanel and CyberPanel. I still take on freelance work through PeoplePerHour.
