About#

Hi, I’m Santosh Khanal — a full-stack web developer from Nepal, working remotely for over a decade.

I found Laravel early through Jeffrey Way’s course and never looked back. For 8+ years I’ve built and shipped web apps end to end on Laravel and its ecosystem — from official packages and starter kits to deployment on Laravel Vapor, DigitalOcean, and custom VPS. I care as much about tests as I do about features: Pest, PHPUnit, and Dusk are all part of how I work.

This site is where I write — mostly for fellow Laravel and PHP developers — about the things I run into in real projects: framework internals, testing, the Livewire/Vue/React frontend, and getting things to production without surprises.

I’ve also contributed to open source, including Laravel Fortify, Laravel Breeze, Spatie Event Sourcing, and Tighten Takeout.
