Hi, I'm Sabin Chapagain

Backend Developer

I build scalable, high-performance backend systems and APIs that power modern web applications.

About Me

I'm a passionate backend developer with 4+ years of experience in designing and implementing robust server-side solutions. My expertise spans Node.js, Python (Django), GraphQL, REST APIs, and database technologies like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. I've had the privilege of helping companies build scalable systems that efficiently handle millions of requests daily.

My approach combines deep technical knowledge with a strong focus on clean architecture, performance optimization, and microservices. I believe in writing maintainable, well-tested code and building systems that stand the test of time.

When I'm not coding, you can find me contributing to open-source projects, writing technical articles, or exploring new technologies in the backend ecosystem.
