Ever wondered what it is like to work as a remote engineer in Nepal for a global team? We caught up with Ebraj Gurung, Frontend Engineer at Angelswing, to get an insider’s perspective.
Hi Ebraj! Can you introduce yourself and tell us what drew you to Angelswing?
Hey! I am Ebraj, part of the Nepal engineering team. I joined Angelswing because I was fascinated by its mission of creating real impact through mapping, reconstruction, and data visualization. With my background in Electronics Engineering, I love seeing how advanced drone hardware combines with powerful web technology. Working with a global team from Nepal felt like the perfect opportunity to grow and contribute meaningfully.
What are you working on right now?
I am developing the 360 Panorama feature, which includes both indoor and outdoor views. We are building it from scratch, and my focus is mainly on frontend development. I create smooth, user-facing interactions while collaborating closely with the backend and product teams. I also dedicate time to testing features across different environments and supporting QA whenever needed.
How has Angelswing shaped your growth?
It has been an incredible learning experience. I have deepened my technical skills by working with Three.js, React, and geospatial tools. I have also learned how to collaborate effectively in a distributed team, manage tasks independently, and navigate different communication styles.
What does a typical workday look like for you?
Most days start with standups or async updates. Then I spend time coding, reviewing pull requests, testing features, and supporting QA when needed. We use Slack, Notion, and Google Meet to stay connected, which makes remote work smooth and productive.
As a remote engineer in Nepal, what are the biggest advantages and challenges you have experienced?
The biggest advantages are flexibility, exposure to global standards, and working with a diverse team. Challenges include time zone differences and occasional internet or power outages. We manage these with backup options and an async-first culture.
Does the local environment present any obstacles in your daily work? How do you overcome them?
Yes, sometimes there are power outages or unstable internet. To manage this, I keep backup internet and power options ready. Our async work culture makes it easier to stay productive despite these challenges.
