I'm Rakesh, a Nepal based product engineer with over seven years of experience. I build web products end to end, from backend APIs to polished interfaces, with TypeScript (React, Hono), PHP (Laravel), Postgres and Tailwind CSS, and I use AI as a daily part of how I design, build and ship.
Currently CTO at Binary Digits, leading a six person engineering team. Before that I helped build mltiple products across SaaS, Fintech and E-commerce.
Full-Stack Engineer
Started my career building backend APIs and back office tools for enterprise clients in Italy (pharma, healthcare, retail and radio) as part of a distributed team between Milan and Kathmandu. Shipped 10+ production apps serving hundreds of thousands of end users.

Improved the feedback widget and built a dozen two-way integrations (Jira, Asana, Trello, Linear and more) for a SaaS trusted by 500+ web design agencies. Teams could resolve client feedback without ever leaving their project tool, and integrations became the top reason customers chose Feedbucket over competitors.

Built most of an AI equity research platform that helps funds and analysts research stocks in minutes instead of hours. Turned thousands of SEC filings into searchable data with interactive charts and AI answers that always cite their sources, with data pages loading in under a second.

Leading a six person engineering team building custom software and AI products for clients in fintech, healthcare and government. Took releases from weekly to daily by rebuilding the CI/CD pipeline, cut project kickoffs from weeks to days with shared architecture standards, and kept 90% of clients coming back across 20+ shipped projects.

Rakesh is a really fast learner. He got up to speed with my project quickly and understood the requirements right away. A very good communicator as well.
Rakesh is a fast and efficient developer who writes clean code, continuously polishes his work, and leverages AI effectively to improve quality and productivity.
He always makes things right. The code quality is very good — he keeps the code tidy and easy to maintain. Great English, always on schedule.
Rakesh is a clear communicator and an effective programmer who executes fast and contributes his own ideas. Everything he shipped just worked — highly recommend!
What shipping a dozen two-way integrations at Feedbucket taught me about retention, partnerships and when to say no to one-way syncs.
