    Location: Kathmandu, Nepal (UTC+5:45)

    Remote: Yes, worldwide. I cover the full UK and EU working day, and US East mornings.

    Willing to relocate: No

    Technologies: TypeScript/Node (NestJS, Next.js, SvelteKit, React), Python (FastAPI), PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes on GCP, GitHub Actions, AWS, Azure, Cloudflare. LLM work in production for the last two years: retrieval over pgvector, multi-agent workflows, eval harnesses, voice AI.

    Résumé&#x2F;CV: on request by email. Code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kafle1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kafle1

    Email: kafleniraj@gmail.com

    Five years full stack, strongest on the backend. Right now I am the engineer who builds and runs the services at a small US company: NestJS APIs on Postgres, the Next.js and SvelteKit front ends on top, and the delivery side too (Docker images, k8s on GCP, Cloudflare, CI&#x2F;CD, rollbacks). The last two years of that included LLM features people actually use, not demos: retrieval pipelines, agent workflows, a voice sales bot, and the eval harness that keeps a non-deterministic pipeline honest with a golden set and step traces.

    Looking for contract or full-time, and I prefer work scoped to deliverables over seat time. I invoice from Nepal as an independent contractor. If you want to read code before replying: a queue-weighted max-pressure traffic signal controller validated on real junction footage (github.com&#x2F;kafle1&#x2F;relay), and a single-camera cricket LBW review tool (github.com&#x2F;kafle1&#x2F;pocket-drs).
