Hi, I’m Sagar Chapagain, a seasoned software engineer from Nepal, now based in Melbourne, Australia, with over 9 years of experience in crafting innovative software solutions.
With almost 9 years of experience as a Software Engineer and 5+ years as a full-stack developer, my career has spanned diverse technologies, frameworks, and roles. I specialize in backend-heavy development using JavaScript frameworks like Next.js, Express, and Nest.js, alongside advanced proficiency in PHP (Laravel, Symfony) and intermediate experience in Python. On the front-end, I bring advanced expertise in React.js, with additional hands-on experience in Vue.js and jQuery.
In 2021, I co-founded Idata Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a company focused on delivering high-quality web and mobile app development, as well as comprehensive IT solutions to businesses across Nepal, Malaysia, and other regions. As the Tech Lead, I’ve spent 70% of my time coding and the remaining 30% managing a dedicated team, leading architecture design, deploying cloud solutions (primarily on AWS and Digital Ocean), and driving our company’s growth in outsourcing services.
While building Idata Solutions, I navigated the immense challenges that come with establishing a startup—from handling resource management and code reviews to client communications and team building. Despite the hurdles, I’m proud of the culture and solutions we’ve built, delivering impactful results for global startups and SMEs. The lessons learned from Idata Solutions have been transformative, preparing me to solve technical problems in any cross-cultural environment.
I’m an AWS Certified Solution Architect Associate, specializing in building CI/CD pipelines, automating deployments, and managing infrastructure on AWS. With a deep understanding of cloud environments, I ensure seamless deployments and robust architecture that can scale as needed.
At my core, I believe coding is an art and programming languages are tools of expression. My experience spans not only the technical aspects but also the leadership and management needed to bring ideas to life. Whether through leading teams or developing sophisticated cloud solutions, I’m excited to continue growing in a cross-cultural environment where I can blend my passion for coding and leadership.
Let’s build something amazing together!
