Senior Software Engineer — AI Platform, Cloud & Forward-Deployed Engineering
WiseAdmit · Kathmandu
- Engineering leadership & technical strategy: led distributed teams across Nepal and the US supporting 50K+ MAUs, owning architecture, technical planning, critical code reviews, production delivery, engineering standards, and cross-team technical direction while aligning engineering priorities with product and business goals.
- Architected WiseAdmit's shared AI platform for LLM admissions assistants, university agents, LangGraph workflows, conversational memory, RAG/semantic retrieval, governed tool execution, program intelligence, and reusable organization-wide AI capabilities.
- Built AI-powered WhatsApp and admissions workflows combining intent routing, qualification, conversation scoring, automated follow-ups, program recommendation, contextual memory, and human escalation.
- Owned production AWS architecture across compute, networking, storage, CDN, databases, caching, queues, IAM, serverless workloads, and observability; drove rightsizing, caching, and infrastructure redesign that reduced cloud spend by ~25% and APAC/MENA latency by ~40%.
- Led Core Web Vitals, caching, CDN, ISR/SSG/SSR, technical SEO and GEO work across thousands of program and university pages, improving origin efficiency, crawlability, structured data, and AI-search discoverability.
- Introduced ABAC-based multi-tenant authorization, secure AI-tool boundaries, worker/queue patterns, observability, deployment controls, and incident-response practices across student, university, recruiter, and administrative systems.

Principles that shape delivery
A few non-negotiables when collaborating with teams: clarity, systems thinking, and pragmatic use of AI and data.
Own the system
Architecture, delivery, observability, cost, and production behavior are part of the same engineering problem—not separate handoffs.
Platforms over one-offs
Build shared APIs, agent capabilities, infrastructure, and contracts that let multiple products and teams move faster without repeating the same work.
AI with guardrails
Use LLMs where they improve decisions or automation, with retrieval, state, permissions, and human escalation designed into the workflow.
Academic background
Dual-major CS at Taylors University: artificial intelligence and data science, alongside core systems, algorithms, and software engineering practice.
Bachelor of Computer Science
Taylor's University
Malaysia · May 2023 – May 2027
- Artificial Intelligence (Major)
- Computer science studies focused on artificial intelligence alongside continued production engineering work.
