Milan Ghimire · Kathmandu, Nepal
Senior Mobile
App Developer.
I build Android & Flutter apps that talk to real hardware — BLE-connected farm sensors that growers across the US rely on, every day of the season.
A developer who sweats the details.
I'm Milan — a mobile developer with 6+ years of experience shipping apps for Android and Flutter. These days I build the mobile side of EarthScout's precision-agriculture hardware: apps that pair with soil sensors over Bluetooth LE, keep working miles from the nearest signal, and never lose a grower's data.
I write documentation with the same care as code — any developer should be able to pick up my projects and understand how they're built. Away from the keyboard I'm usually behind a camera, on a bicycle, or somewhere in the mountains.

Apps people trust, not just use.
Shipping an app is easy. Keeping one reliable in the hands of growers, season after season, takes discipline. Mine looks like this:
Test-driven development
Core logic is written test-first. When an app is the only record of a season's field data, "it seems to work" isn't a standard — regressions get caught before a release, not after.
Offline-first by default
Farms are connectivity dead zones, so local storage — Room on SQLite — is the source of truth. The app works the same at the far end of a field as it does on office Wi-Fi.
BLE & OTA firmware
Deep Bluetooth LE work: pairing and reconnection that survive the real world, plus over-the-air firmware updates and hardware diagnostics — the app doubles as the service tool.
CI/CD & release management
Automated builds and staged Play Store rollouts. Releases are boring by design — versioned, repeatable, and easy to roll back if the numbers say so.
Telemetry that answers questions
Crashlytics plus structured logging and analytics in production. When something misbehaves in a field in Minnesota, I can see what happened from Kathmandu — and prove the fix.
Documentation as a feature
Every project is documented so that any developer can understand how it's built and why — architecture, decisions, and setup. The bus factor on my projects is never one.
Let's build something.
