Myself Shashanka Luitel, currently enrolled as a computer engineering student at Kathmandu University, which is regarded as one of the finest university in Nepal. I am passionate about learning and applying new technologies to create user-friendly and engaging applications. I have completed multiple projects using a variety of programming languages, frameworks, and design tools, including Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Next.js, HTML, CSS (Tailwind CSS), React.js, and React Native. I am also a part of the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program, where I actively learn and share my knowledge on web development and collaboration using Git and GitHub with other students and mentors. My experience spans UI/UX design, mobile development, web development, and effective teamwork. While working on college projects, I actively contribute to front-end development. I am eager to apply my skills and creativity to solve real-world problems and contribute meaningfully to the tech community.
As the developer lead for IT Meet, I play a pivotal role in shaping the technical direction of the event. I oversee the development of the official website, ensuring that it meets high standards of performance, user experience, and design. My responsibilities include coordinating with a team of developers, assigning tasks, and making key decisions on the tech stack and development process.
My role extends to mentoring junior developers, helping them improve their skills, and ensuring that the project is a learning experience for all involved. By managing deadlines and facilitating collaboration, I contribute to the overall success of IT Meet, delivering a seamless digital experience for participants and organizers alike.

IT Express is a annual magazine published by Kathmandu University Computer Club just the few days before the grandest IT event in Nepal , i.e. "IT MEET". It is a platform for students to share knowledge and experiences, showcase their talents and skills. IT Express began with the aim to give exposure to student’s projects and to help them express themselves to a wider audience, which consequently would also develop their writing skills
As a Graphic Designer at IT Express in 2022, I played a crucial role in the successful publication of the IT Express Journal by applying the necessary design elements to enhance the magazine's visual appeal. Collaborating with a dedicated team, we worked tirelessly for weeks to complete the project. Despite the challenges inherent in design work, the final product was truly remarkable. The effort invested was substantial, but the outcome justified every moment spent refining and perfecting the magazine's layout and aesthetics.
At our university, the emphasis on project-based learning is paramount, with each semester presenting an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in hands-on, real-world experiences. These projects serve as a cornerstone of our academic curriculum, fostering innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills among students.
Throughout each semester, I have actively engaged in a variety of projects, leveraging different programming languages to tackle diverse challenges. These projects have provided invaluable opportunities for me to expand my skill set, adapt to new technologies, and deepen my understanding of programming principles.
