About Me

Bishal has over 10 years of experience as a full-stack web developer with expertise in PHP and JavaScript. His primary stack is Laravel and WordPress for back-end development and Vue and React for front-end development. Bishal started as a back-end developer, but after the rise of JavaScript frameworks like Angular.1.x, he quickly switched to Angular and then to Vue and has been working with JavaScript frameworks since then.

Portfolio

A progressive web application developed with WordPress REST API with multiple custom routes and customized JWT authentication. The front-end aspect of the app was handled by Vue and Ant Design. The client only had an algorithm, and I was given full authority to choose the tech stack, wireframing, design, and implementation of the algorithm they provided.

All the interactive parts were handled by Alpine.js

Blog Redesign and Optimizing

A WordPress blog for an enterprise with a child theme was purchased by the client. However non to a small portion of the actual parent theme was used because the design supplied by the client was too far from the parent theme.

This project involved developing a WordPress plugin that adds a "send an item" feature as a gift option for a WooCommerce plugin. This functionality allows users to include a gifting option on the checkout page.

Front-end Landing Page for a Service

Completed Figma design and front-end portion of the site. The front-end design framework is written in Bootstrap, and the whole site is served as a static HTML with React. I was provided with the brand colors, which I had to incorporate into a modern-looking website.
