Hi, I'm Sujata — an engineer who likes the parts you don't see.

I'm a fullstack engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I started out building MERN apps end-to-end, but somewhere along the way I fell in love with what happens behind the API — the queues, the services, the boxes, the way a small message can travel through a system and quietly make something useful happen on the other side.

These days I work on the backend at XYZ Solutions, where we're building an agentic AI content-generation SaaS on a microservices architecture. My day is some mix of gRPC contracts, RabbitMQ pipelines, PocketBase + Node services, Docker, and a self-hosted Coolify setup that lets us deploy like a much bigger team than we are.

Outside of that, I tinker. Astro and Jekyll sites, Shopify themes, n8n automations, the occasional Flutter app, scraping pipelines for fun datasets. I write this site partly to keep a record of all of it, and partly because I've been meaning to start blogging for a while now.
