Saurav Dhakal
@sauravdhakal2
Backend-focused software engineer specializing in Node.js, NestJS, and scalable production systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend-focused software engineer with 2+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable, production-grade systems. I specialize in Node.js ecosystems like NestJS and Express, and I build clean, modular codebases that stay maintainable as they grow.
In my recent roles, I architected a multi-tenant NestJS backend with PostgreSQL, ensuring clean separation of tenant data and access control. I’ve implemented real-time delivery using WebSockets and EventEmitter2, backed by BullMQ-powered async notification processing with retry handling.
I’m intentional about performance and reliability: I designed caching with Cloudflare (dynamic cache purging and invalidation) to reduce origin load and improve response times. I’ve also managed production infrastructure using Docker orchestration and Azure deployment pipelines, storage, and environment configuration.
I enjoy expanding beyond pure backend too—contributing to React Native (Expo) mobile integrations for push notifications and content consumption. I also build full solutions through projects like a MERN-based stock portfolio tracker using NEPSE’s official API, and a Scheduler app using Dart/Flutter with Firebase for authentication and data storage.
