Pratik Bhujel · PHP & OSS Contributor

Hi, I'm Pratik.

I build with PHP and Laravel, and I spend a lot of time on the part of software work I enjoy most: reproducing bugs, reducing them to the smallest failing case, adding regression coverage, and sending reviewable fixes upstream. I like small diffs, clear tests, and fixes that make future bugs harder to reintroduce.

Useful work.
Real responsibilities.

All projects

Commerce, pharmacy and warehouse operations.

Commerce · Switzerland

Help people find the part they actually need.

ersatzteilstore.ch brings product discovery and spare-parts commerce into one storefront. Built for Afrem at Yarbug Media.

The problem & the build

A spare-parts catalog needs more than a grid of products. Customers need a practical way to discover the right item, while the business needs maintainable product-data workflows.

Laravel and React application architecture, ASWO integration work, Redis caching and background processing, and OpenSearch / Elasticsearch discovery. Galaxus synchronization remains planned marketplace architecture.

Pharmacy operations

Keep stock, purchasing, and ledgers together.

A Pharmacy Management System built around the daily work of running a pharmacy, with separate data for each tenant.

The problem & the build

Inventory changes, purchasing, and ledger entries need to belong to the same operational workflow. Keeping them disconnected makes the application harder to use and maintain.

A multi-tenant Laravel application covering inventory, automated purchasing, and ledger transactions, with authenticated administration.

Warehouse operations

Give warehouse transactions a clear paper trail.

A Warehouse Management System connecting stock, suppliers, customers, quotations, invoices, and delivery tickets.

The problem & the build

Warehouse work crosses several documents and people. Stock receipts, issues, adjustments, and delivery records need a place in a consistent workflow.

Product and supplier records, stock movements, quotations, invoices, delivery tickets, and reporting in one authenticated business application.

A backend your business can build on.

Practical help for a new product, a complex integration, or an application that needs attention.

Laravel web applications

Build a business application around your workflow: inventory, purchasing, reporting, customer portals or an authenticated admin system. I work on the data model, backend and the interface your team uses.

APIs, integrations & background jobs

Connect your application to external services, design APIs and move longer tasks into Laravel queues. Useful for imports, notifications and keeping data in sync between systems.

Application maintenance & performance

Improve an existing PHP or Laravel application: investigate errors, review slow queries, untangle backend code and plan framework upgrades. Start with the issue affecting your users or team.

Pratik Bhujel

Backend engineering, from application to runtime.

Download résumé

I am Pratik Bhujel, a senior backend engineer and web developer originally from Biratnagar, Nepal (currently working between Kathmandu, Biratnagar, and remote worldwide teams). I work with PHP, Laravel, and MySQL to build high-throughput web applications, secure APIs, and mission-critical operational systems.

My experience covers complex domain workflows: multi-branch pharmacy inventory, automotive parts commerce, enterprise purchasing, and automated payment service flows. I focus on clean database schemas, transactional consistency, background queue pipelines, and dependable API integrations.

Alongside client engineering, I contribute to the PHP runtime (php-src) and Laravel framework, and build native C extensions for PHP. Understanding runtime internals allows me to investigate production edge cases, debug bottlenecks, and engineer resilient systems from the ground up.
