About Sundar Gautam

I'm Sundar Gautam, a Senior React Developer and Team Lead from Kathmandu, Nepal. Since 2020 I've shipped products people use every day: Mercury 360, an AI-powered HR and recruitment ecosystem; Annapurna Art, an international online art marketplace; AITC Homes, an apartment and visitor management system with Flutter apps; and Bhavika Store, an Indian grocery store for customers in Hong Kong.

Today I lead a development team at AITC International in Bhaktapur, where I architect React and Next.js front ends and design Node.js APIs. I have also worked alongside our Flutter developer on the AITC Homes mobile app to grow my cross-platform skills. I care about clean, modular code, performance (code splitting, lazy loading, memoization), and interfaces that feel fast on every device.

Outside client work I build for Nepal. NepalPremierLeague.site gives cricket fans NPL live scores, fixtures and the points table and draws 400+ visitors a day during the season. Dashain Games puts nine traditional Nepali card, board and dice games in the browser, free and offline-ready. I've also taught React.js to 15+ students and write about web development on Medium.

My biggest product of my own is Tream, a set of eight games for TikTok LIVE that viewers play by typing in the chat. I also publish SEOAnything, an open-source SEO toolkit for AI coding agents on npm. And I create content myself: more than 15K people follow me on TikTok and 5K on Facebook, which keeps me close to the creators I build for.

What I focus on

  1. 01

    React & Next.js architecture

    Component design, routing, server rendering and state that stays understandable. Redux or Zustand, depending on the problem.

  2. 02

    Performance

    Code splitting, lazy loading, memoization and keeping Core Web Vitals green on real, mid-range phones.

  3. 03

    Full-stack delivery

    Node.js REST and WebSocket APIs backed by MongoDB or PostgreSQL, so a feature can ship end to end.

  4. 04

    Leading teams

    Planning, honest estimates, code review and mentoring. The goal is a team that ships without me in every thread.

Outside of client work

I create content for a growing audience on TikTok and Facebook. I also enjoy teaching and writing about the web, and I post the occasional article on Medium.
