I started with Java and C++ projects in college, then picked up Python for scripting and automation. Over time I moved into building backend systems. Most of my work lives in private repos.
Hi, I'm Kshitiz Wagle
Lalitpur, Nepal
3+ years Software Engineer Scalable backends Startup-tested Automating the boring stuff The go-to when “it just works” stops working Making Complex Stuff Simple-ish, One Coffee at a Time Fueled by coffee, driven by stack traces
Now I build Python APIs with FastAPI, async messaging with RabbitMQ, Docker deployments, and CI/CD pipelines. I care about making things reliable and easy to maintain.
I like trying different brew methods and cafes. Cold brew is my go-to, but at home it's always dark roast.
I unwind with story-driven RPGs. Been playing Genshin Impact since 2020, and just finished Ghost of Tsushima.
I run a home server on an old laptop with a broken screen. It hosts Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, Navidrome, and Immich. I spend more time tinkering with it than actually using it.
Grew up watching PC repairs, breaking open laptops, building a Hackintosh, jailbreaking iPhones, and hopping between Linux distros. Once uninstalled Python from Ubuntu and learned the hard way. Broke things until I understood them.
