I’m a Senior Backend and Data Systems Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable microservices, relational PostgreSQL databases, and event-driven data ingestion pipelines. I focus on turning high volume, continuous operational event streams into clean, reliable backend datastores and APIs.

My day-to-day work centers on Python, Node.js/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and streaming tools like Kafka and AWS Kinesis. I also author RFCs, design human-in-the-loop validation triggers, and build robust Docker/Kubernetes environments—because data integrity and clear API contracts come first.

Most recently at Chemjong Construction, I designed and operated asynchronous Kafka and Kinesis pipelines to ingest, parse, and validate thousands of real-time operational payload events and device status logs daily without payload loss. I optimized PostgreSQL schemas and query indexes for millions of historical records, improving query execution speed by over 40%, and delivered RESTful Node.js (TypeScript) microservices with strict schema validation middleware before production updates.

At ITsutra, I served as VP of Technical Strategy and Project Success, leading multi-tenant backend migrations and operating full US business hours asynchronously from Nepal. I coordinated with North American engineering and product leads, jumped into Node.js/TypeScript during go-live pushes to fix failing REST endpoints and payload mismatches, and implemented governance like rate limiting and audit trail logging to keep systems stable under concurrent traffic.
