👋 Welcome — You’ve Landed on My Signature Page
Hey, I’m Prashant Basnet — software developmemt engineer at Unisala.com .
You’re viewing my Signature, a digital space where I share what I’m learning, building, and reflecting on, all in one place.
📍 Found this page via LinkedIn, my personal site, or a shared link?
This isn’t a traditional portfolio. It’s my public digital notebook where I document useful ideas, experiments, and lessons I’ve learned as I build.What You’ll Find Here:
- ✍️ Thoughts on algorithms, systems, and software design
- 🧠 Insights from building at Unisala
- 🔗 Direct links to everything I’ve published on Unisala
