Got laid off yesterday: This svelte developer trynna get ready for next chapter
Hey Svelte family!
Life has quite the way of testing us. A few weeks back, I shared how Svelte transformed my life - from a guy in a small Nepali village to someone who built Tipex (yes, the one featured on Svelte's official site!). I was on cloud nine - leading an enterprise migration, getting engaged to the love of my life, planning our future...
Then came the news: our entire frontend team was let go. The same Svelte expertise that helped me reach my dreams and create a life with my soon-to-be wife. We were 90% through migrating a massive enterprise app from Vue to Svelte, a project I poured my heart into as team lead.
But here's the thing about the Svelte community - we're resilient. My story resonated with many of you because it's not just about code; it's about dreams, family, and proving that someone from a small village can make it big in tech. Our love story continues, wedding plans are in full swing, and we'll soon be sharing a home together. Now more than ever, I'm motivated to bring my Svelte expertise to a team that values both technical excellence and human growth.
Some wins I'm proud of:
- Built Tipex, now featured twice on Svelte's official site
- Led an 8-person team through a Vue-to-Svelte enterprise migration
- Improved app performance by 47% through optimization
- Created documentation that cut onboarding time from 2 weeks to 3 days
Svelte isn't just a framework for me - it's the technology that changed my life. It helped me afford my first motorcycle, support my family, and build a future with the person I love. Now, I'm looking for a team that needs someone who brings both technical expertise and genuine passion to the table.
What I bring to your team:
- Enterprise-level Svelte/SvelteKit experience
- Proven leadership in large-scale migrations
- Open-source contributions featured by Svelte
- A dedication to clean, performant code
- The perspective of someone who knows how life-changing good tech opportunities can be
I'm looking for a role where I can:
- Build practical Svelte applications at scale
- Lead and mentor other developers
- Continue contributing to the Svelte ecosystem
- Create a stable foundation for my growing family
This isn't just a job search - it's about finding a team that values both technical excellence and human stories. Someone who knows that behind every line of code is a person with dreams and responsibilities.
The motorcycle's still in the garage, the wedding bells are ringing, and my passion for Svelte is stronger than ever. If your team needs someone who brings both enterprise Svelte experience and unstoppable determination, let's talk.
