Currently — Software Engineer at wesionaryTeam

Arjun Adhikari is a backend engineer building resilient systems from Pokhara, Nepal.

Five years of Python in production — Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, WebSockets — and a growing practice around retrieval-augmented systems, MCP servers, and agent orchestration. I read the database plan before I trust the abstraction.

Engineer first, model wrangler second.

I build backend systems the way a careful editor builds a sentence — one moving part at a time, each in service of the next. Scalable APIs, real-time data, and the unglamorous middle layer where most incidents quietly begin.

Lately I've been pulling generative AI into that work — MCP servers, RAG pipelines, agent graphs — and reminding myself that an LLM is another I/O boundary, with all the failure modes that implies.

A strong foundation in computer-science fundamentals means I can spot where AI-generated code is wrong and know exactly how to fix it. I use the model as a tool, not a crutch.

What's in the toolkit.

  • Backend Django · FastAPI · Flask · WebSockets · REST · System architecture
  • Data & storage PostgreSQL · Redis · MongoDB · query plans, indexes, sharding sensibly
  • AI engineering RAG pipelines · MCP servers · LangChain · LangGraph · vector databases · agent orchestration
  • Observability Distributed tracing · log pipelines · metrics · LLM observability · OpenTelemetry
  • Cloud & devops AWS (EC2, S3, RDS) · Docker · GitHub Actions · Linux
  • Analysis Time series · financial data modeling · backtesting
  • Specialised Web scraping (Scrapy) · network security · automation
