Kushal Poudel
@kushalpoudel2
Node.js developer with 5+ years building scalable, secure backends and REST APIs for high-performance web apps.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Node.js developer with over 5 years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining high-performance web applications. I focus on building scalable, secure backend systems and crafting robust RESTful APIs that support business goals and improve user experience.
In my recent roles, I’ve developed real-time applications with Socket.IO, implemented scalable microservice architectures, and enabled efficient inter-service communication through Apache Kafka. I also use Redis for high-speed caching, session management, and performance optimization, and integrate Firebase for authentication, push notifications, and cloud-based data storage.
I’m comfortable working across the stack when needed—using modern JavaScript and TypeScript with frameworks like Express.js and NestJS. I prioritize clean, maintainable code, and I actively optimize application performance while integrating third-party services to keep systems reliable under high traffic.
I’ve also contributed to backend game development by collaborating with Unity developers to deliver interactive multiplayer features with seamless client-server communication. Across multiple projects, I’ve delivered backend modules for systems like HRIS, logistics automation, email warmup, and task management—always with a strong emphasis on database design, data integrity, and smooth frontend integration.
