Hi, I’m Ankit Pradhan, a senior software engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I specialize in building scalable backend platforms and distributed systems using Node.js/TypeScript, microservices, and cloud-native architectures. I enjoy turning complex problems into reliable, API-driven systems and leading multi-service orchestration to deliver measurable impact. In my recent roles at Progressive Labs and Proshore, I’ve architected distributed pipelines, steered microservice decompositions, and implemented GitOps-powered CI/CD. I thrive in cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and continuously optimize infrastructure for throughput, reliability, and observability.
