Software engineer who ships systems that handle money, people, and rules.
Two years building full-stack SaaS and operational platforms with Python/Django and TypeScript/React — payroll that has to match tax law, ledgers that have to balance, and government workflows where the wrong person must never see the record.
System 01 — Retail SaaS · Independent product
01 / 03
Mero Pasal
- 01Every shop shares one PostgreSQL database.
- 02Middleware sets the tenant; row-level security draws the wall.
- 03A query that forgets its filter gets zero rows — not another shop’s sales.
System 02 — ERP · Independent product
02 / 03
Garment Manufacturing ERP
- 01Every invoice posts a balanced journal entry, in the same transaction.
- 02Debits and credits land together, so the books cannot drift.
- 03A void posts a reversing entry. History is never edited.
System 03 — HR & Payroll · At Goodwish
03 / 03
Attendance & Payroll SaaS
- 01Fingerprint and RFID terminals push punches on their own schedule.
- 02Idempotent ingest: a duplicated punch never becomes a duplicated day of pay.
- 03Nepali tax slabs, SSF and SST apply — then an accountant signs off.

How I work
Opinions I have paid for, in production.
01
Own the problem, not the ticket
Requirements, implementation, tests, deployment, and the 11pm production diagnostic are the same job. I follow features through to the point where someone is actually using them without complaint.
02
Correctness before cleverness
Payroll that is off by one rupee is broken. A ledger that does not balance is broken. In finance-sensitive and permission-sensitive code I would rather write the boring, obviously-correct version and cover it with tests.
03
Learn the domain, not just the schema
Nepal income-tax slabs, SSF deductions, Darta/Chalani registry conventions, garment SAM costing — none of these are in the framework docs. I read the actual rules and translate them into workflows people recognise.
04
Small, reviewable, reversible
Changes backed by tests, logs and reproducible debugging evidence. I prefer a stack of narrow pull requests over one heroic branch, because the second kind is where production incidents come from.
05
Treat the API as the product
Predictable contracts, useful errors, backward-aware changes, typed OpenAPI schemas and documentation. The frontend team, the mobile team, and future me are all consumers.
06
AI as an accelerator, not an author
I use AI-assisted tooling for research, scaffolding and test generation, then review every line. The accountability for what ships stays with the engineer.

Software Engineer
Independent products
Two products of my own, designed, built and deployed end to end alongside my role at Goodwish.
- Mero Pasal: multi-tenant retail SaaS for Nepali shops, with every shop isolated by PostgreSQL row-level security, an online storefront and IRD-oriented VAT billing.
- Garment Manufacturing ERP: order to ledger for a factory floor, covering merchandising, production, piece-rate payroll, VAT billing and double-entry accounting.
- Sole engineer on both: architecture, the Django and React code, Docker deployment, backups and health checks.

Hiring for something with real rules in it? Let’s talk.
Open to new opportunities. I am most useful on products where correctness matters — billing, payroll, permissions, reporting, anything where “roughly right” is not right.
