Shivaji Chalise

I’m a Backend Engineer with 3 years of professional experience building scalable, secure, and performance-driven web applications. I specialize in Laravel and API development, with a strong command of system architecture, database design, and backend optimization. Throughout my career, I’ve built and maintained large-scale backend systems powering marketplaces, event platforms, and content management tools.

Currently, I work at Mantra IT Solutions, where I designed and implemented RESTful APIs for a marketplace platform that supports mobile integration, dynamic form rendering, automated invoice generation, and admin dashboards. These systems handle high-volume operations while maintaining security and performance standards. I also contributed to CI/CD automation and introduced analytics features that drive actionable insights.

Before that, I worked at Zerone Technology, where I was promoted from intern to Full Stack Developer. I developed the Pokhara Marathon event platform, including ticketing, payment integration, participant management, and an automated certificate generation system. I also created reusable Laravel packages such as NRB Forex and Nepal Data, which streamline API consumption and data retrieval for Nepal-specific services.

I’ve delivered diverse side projects — from blockchain-based certificate validation (Blockure) to real-time chat systems, custom CMSs, and utility tools in Rust. These projects reflect my passion for solving real-world problems and continuously pushing technical boundaries.

Beyond coding, I love clean, maintainable architecture and am deeply interested in developer productivity. I’m a strong believer in documentation, code quality, and continuous learning. I’m currently exploring Golang to expand my capabilities in microservices and systems programming.

Collaboration, ownership, and reliability are central to my work ethic. I’ve worked with cross-functional teams and understand the importance of communication and consistency when delivering impactful software.

Based in Kathmandu (UTC+5:45), I’m flexible with working hours and can align with global teams across time zones. Whether it’s building from scratch or optimizing existing systems, I bring a hands-on, problem-solving mindset that focuses on delivering value and performance.
