About Biraj Rai
I'm Biraj Rai, a software engineer and founder. As co-founder and CTO of Shrepy, I lead engineering for an e-commerce platform serving Indian businesses. My approach is shaped by years of building products and running infrastructure for real users, from hobby game servers to production web applications. For the full backstory, read my journey from Minecraft to software engineer.
How I work
My approach to software is pragmatic. I believe in shipping fast, iterating with real users, and choosing the right tool for the job. Whether it's a React frontend, a Go microservice, or a PostgreSQL schema design, I focus on what delivers value. I have built products solo from idea to deployment, owning the infrastructure, the code, and the user experience.
Beyond code
When I'm not building products, I'm contributing to Nepal's tech community, writing about software engineering on my blog, and exploring how technology can solve local problems. I'm based in Hetauda and open to freelance projects, founding engineering roles, and collaborations that make an impact.
