Full Stack Engineer

I started out in Nepal writing Django and React Native at Prabidhi Labs, then moved to Oita, Japan in 2024 as a contract software engineer. Since then I've delivered 12+ projects for Japanese municipalities and enterprise clients — GIS portals, asset-management platforms, citizen apps and multi-district voucher systems.

Day to day that means Vue, Nuxt and TypeScript on the front end, Python and FastAPI on the back, and deploying the result onto AWS with Terraform and Docker. I care about systems that stay up, stay secure and stay readable for whoever picks them up next.

  • Full-stack delivery — interface to database
  • Deploying and running services on AWS

What I do best

What I do for clients in Japan — from the component library to the API behind it.

Frontend Engineering

Vue, Nuxt and TypeScript interfaces with sensible state, real accessibility and components a team can maintain.

Vue.jsNuxt.jsTypeScript

Backend & APIs

Python and FastAPI services with typed contracts, tested endpoints and databases modelled to match the domain.

FastAPIPythonPostgreSQL

Public-Sector Builds

Municipal and government systems built to the compliance rules they ship under — scoped access, encrypted data, audited change.

CognitoIAMKMS

Testing & Quality

Playwright end-to-end suites and Pytest coverage, so releases are verified rather than hoped for.

PlaywrightPytestCI

Deployment on AWS

Getting the application onto AWS and keeping it running — EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, RDS and S3, provisioned with Terraform and Docker.

AWSTerraformDocker

Mobile Development

Native iOS work in Objective-C and cross-platform builds in React Native, wired to the REST APIs behind them.

AI in my workflow

I treat these as tools, not shortcuts — they speed up work I already understand, and every line still gets reviewed before it ships.

  • Claude CodeMulti-file refactors, test scaffolding and code review from inside VS Code.
Design & UI
  • ClaudeExploring layout directions and writing interface copy before anything reaches Figma.
  • FigmaTurning the chosen direction into a component spec a team can build from.
Research & Learning
  • ChatGPTWeighing approaches and getting up to speed on unfamiliar APIs.
  • GeminiA second opinion and fast documentation lookups.

Things I build outside client work — shipped products and the projects I learned on. Source is public.

Nepal–Oita Community

A live community site for Nepalis living in Oita and Beppu — events, notices and local guidance, with the data layer written as PostgreSQL procedures rather than pushed into the app.

Personal Blog

My own blog on Django, where I write up what I'm learning. Build and deploy steps are wrapped in a Makefile so publishing a post is a single command.

This Portfolio

The site you're reading. No framework and no build step — hand-written HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript, with every animation done in the browser rather than pulled from a library.
