Senior Front-end Engineer · ITONICS · Kathmandu

I'm Subash Shrestha. I build the front end of the ITONICS Innovation OS, and lead the squad that ships it.

Eight years of Angular, the last five at ITONICS. I own shared libraries in the Nx monorepo, built the Storybook design system that serves both our Angular and React apps, designed the real-time UI for our AI features, and keep the whole monorepo on the current Angular release, v21 today.

About

I'm a senior front-end engineer at ITONICS, the innovation management platform used by enterprise strategy and R&D teams. I lead a front-end squad, and I still ship code every day.

My work sits between design and the product. I built our internal design system in Storybook from the Figma source, with components that run in both Angular and React. I own shared libraries in the Nx monorepo that every application depends on. When ITONICS added AI features, I designed the interface for them and wired it over WebSockets so responses stream in as they are generated.

As squad captain I run sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives, sit in product grooming so tickets are sharp before they reach the sprint, and supervised two engineers through their first six months.

Before ITONICS I spent two years at Bajra Technologies building Angular front ends and Rails APIs for client products, and a year at IT Glance shipping Ionic mobile apps. I studied computer science at Samriddhi College and was first runner-up in a national programming contest in 2018.

    • Built the internal design system in Storybook from Figma designs, with components that serve both Angular and React applications.
    • Designed specialised UI for LLM features, using WebSockets for real-time synchronisation of AI-driven interactions.
    • Led the Angular 11 to 13 upgrade across every app and library after running an internal workshop, and have kept the monorepo on each major release since, now Angular 21.
    • Integrated both GraphQL and REST APIs across the application.
    • Investigate and resolve application defects, including production issues, so the platform stays stable for enterprise customers.
