Sandesh Prasad Paudel

Software Engineer — Backend · Cloud · DevOps

I build backend services and ship them properly — REST APIs, caching layers, and infrastructure that deploys itself. Currently teaching the next batch of engineers their first public static void main, while shipping production systems on AWS.

whoami
I'm a software engineer based in Kathmandu with hands-on experience across the stack — from React front ends to Node.js/Express backends, wired into AWS infrastructure and automated with CI/CD. I like systems that are fast, cached, and boring to operate — the good kind of boring. Outside of shipping code, I teach Object-Oriented Programming and GUI development to 100+ students at Islington College, and I'm currently pursuing an MSc in Infrastructure and Operations.
