              A trusted immigration solution for talent and companies

              Shritesh Bhattarai

              Shritesh is a foreign national from Nepal, and came to the United States in 2015 to pursue his masters. He had a penchant for two things: entrepreneurship and mentorship—two pursuits he wanted to continue in the United States, a place he saw limitless in opportunities. After getting selected for The Build Fellowship by Open Avenues, Shritesh created an industry-based project through his company, Remix Labs where he was assigned a Queens College student named Wilber. An aspiring software engineer with a passion for coding and gaming, Wilber brought a fresh, technical perspective to the no-code software platform Remix Labs operates on. His dedication, above-and-beyond approach and work ethic did not go unnoticed. Shritesh was so impressed by his work, that Wilber became the first junior-level, no-interview hire. Mentoring Wilber and witnessing his growth reinforced the gratifying experience of guiding future tech talents. <br><b>“The internship at Remix Labs was great for someone like me who wanted to get into programming in the tech space. During the internship, I got exposure to the Remix Labs platform and all of its functionalities. The platform itself is a no-code tool used to build out applications. I also learned how to design the flow of an app process data in a programming environment. Shritesh was such a smart and approachable project leader, and helped me every step of the way. He was my biggest advocate and got me a job as a Product Engineer position at the company—with no interview! He believed in me that much! Though I’m not working on his team, I still consider him my mentor. He’s the reason I was able to start my career.”</b><br>
