~/sijan/role: senior java developer
I architect scalable, real-time systems with Java & Spring Boot — microservices, integrations, high-traffic backends — and lead the teams that build them. 6+ years, from schema to deploy.

~/about
I'm a Senior Java Developer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I started freelancing on Upwork in 2019 while studying at Patan Multiple Campus, and I've been shipping production software ever since — from investment platforms and workspace products to NEPSE trading tools and enterprise automation. Lately I lead teams, mentor junior developers and own architecture end-to-end.
Day to day that means Spring Boot microservices, PostgreSQL and Redis on the backend, React + TypeScript when a frontend is needed. I care about clean code, boring-but-solid infrastructure, and features that actually get used.
Beyond work: I maintain a small ecosystem of NEPSE (Nepal Stock Exchange) tools— an API wrapper, trading helpers and IPO automation — because building things I'd use myself is the fastest way to learn.

Open to freelance projects, full-time roles and interesting side quests. If it runs on Java or types in TypeScript, I'm probably into it. The fastest way to reach me is email.
