01.About Me

I'm Anuj Dhungana, a backend and DevOps engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. With 3+ years of professional experience, I design and optimize scalable backend systems with a focus on performance and security.

My expertise spans building microservice architectures using Go and RUST, orchestrating containerized workloads on Kubernetes, and implementing robust CI/CD pipelines. I thrive on solving complex infrastructure challenges, from mult-tenant B2B applications to on-the-fly image processing pipelines.

When I'm not shipping code, I'm giving technical talks about all things tech and programming to help share knowledge with the engineering community.
