Background

With 7+ years of professional experience, I’ve progressed from web development to senior DevOps and platform engineering roles. Currently at PortPro, I manage cloud infrastructure for 100+ microservices on AWS, deploy services on ECS with GitHub Actions using reusable workflows, and build CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time by 60%.

Previously, I architected a Flutter-based child care platform at Parentiv with a serverless Firebase backend, and built full-stack web and mobile applications at Paailatechnologies and Delta Tech in Nepal.

My dual background in infrastructure and application development lets me bridge the gap between ops and engineering — building systems that are observable, resilient, and developer-friendly.
