Senior Front-end Engineer & Squad Captain at ITONICS

I'm Subash Shrestha. I build the front end of complex products, and the teams that keep them shipping.

Seven years in, Angular and TypeScript since 2018. At ITONICS I work on a large Angular monorepo, an internal design system, and real-time UI for AI features. I care about interfaces that stay fast, readable, and maintainable long after launch.

About

I started with Android apps as a freelancer, moved into Ionic and Angular at IT Glance, and spent two years building Angular front ends on Rails APIs at Bajra Technologies. Since 2021 I have been at ITONICS, where I lead a squad on the front end of the Innovation OS.

The thread through all of it is the same: I like the part of the job where a messy requirement becomes a component other engineers reach for without thinking. Reusable, typed, tested, and documented well enough that the next person does not have to ask.

As a squad captain I spend as much time on grooming, planning, and unblocking people as I do writing code. I still write code every day. I think that is the only way to keep the reviews honest.
