Kathmandu, Nepal — Available for backend & fullstack roles

Backend & firmware, built to run.

I ship ARM embedded Linux firmware and the backend systems behind it — from POS payment terminals to remote-device infrastructure serving thousands of users. Registered Computer Engineer, Nepal Engineering Council.

00 — About

Who I am

I work across the stack most engineers never touch end-to-end: device firmware, the backend services that talk to it, and occasionally the PCB the firmware runs on. Most of my production work has been on embedded Linux systems for point-of-sale hardware and remote-device platforms that need to stay online and observable at scale.

Outside of firmware/backend work, I design PCBs in KiCad, model in Blender, and build tools for fun — including streaming widgets used by thousands of people and an 8085 microprocessor emulator built from scratch.

NepalDigital Systems

Firmware & Fullstack Developer · Kathmandu, Nepal

  • Built and maintained Yeti Tunnel, a reverse-tunneling service enabling secure remote access to deployed devices without public IP exposure.
  • Implemented Yeti GSM integration, adding cellular connectivity (SMS/data) to embedded devices for out-of-band access and monitoring.
  • Developed backend infrastructure for the Garud project (garud.cloud), a remote device access platform, focused on high availability across fleets of remote devices.
  • Built end-to-end firmware and backend for a POS system on the Aisino Q161 terminal, including payment processing for QR and other payment methods, from device firmware through to backend services.
  • Designed backend log management infrastructure over PostgreSQL and MongoDB, handling ingestion, storage, and retrieval of thousands of device logs at scale.
  • Architected and deployed backend infrastructure on AWS (EC2, S3, and related services) — system design, deployment, and scaling.
  • Developed and tested embedded Linux firmware against QEMU-emulated ARM targets, enabling fast iteration without physical hardware in the loop.
