His primary stack is Laravel and WordPress for back-end development and Vue and React for front-end development. Bishal started as a back-end developer, but after the rise of JavaScript frameworks like Angular.1.x, he quickly switched to Angular and then to Vue and has been working with JavaScript frameworks since then.
