I’m a Backend Engineer with production experience designing REST APIs, managing AWS cloud infrastructure, and deploying containerized applications. I work across the full cycle—from local development to live systems—using pragmatic engineering to keep delivery reliable and maintainable.

At Theme Nepal Pvt. Ltd., I built backend services with NestJS and production-grade AWS infrastructure (EC2, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch), including least-privilege security groups and VPC routing. I also routed production traffic through Cloudflare (Full SSL mode) and used NGINX to manage environment-based upstream routing for safer staging and promotion workflows.

Earlier, as a Backend Engineer Intern, I delivered Node.js/TypeScript backend services with a layered architecture that reduced cross-cutting bugs. I integrated Mapbox for proximity-based property search, implemented secure file workflows with AWS S3 scoped IAM policies, and contributed to CI/CD automation to shorten release cycles.

I’ve also strengthened core API engineering fundamentals through RESTful design, RBAC-based auth, and structured validation/error handling during my internship experience. Whether it’s caching with Redis, real-time WebSocket features, or building resilient deployments with Docker, I focus on performance, security, and operational clarity.
