available for new work
Nitesh Raj Khanal
Full-stack software engineer.
Director of Engineering at CareGene.ai and CTO & co-founder of Splitlab. I build fast, secure, scalable products across the stack — Next.js, NestJS, Go, Rust, and SwiftUI — and care a lot about the details users feel but never see.
~/about
I'm a software engineer who likes building systems that hold up under real traffic. Most of my work lives in the backend — multi-tenant microservices, event streams, and real-time analytics over Kafka and gRPC — but I'm just as comfortable shipping the frontend that sits on top of it.
Security tends to be the through-line: encrypted at rest and in transit, sensible auth, and UX that never leaks the hard parts. Recent work includes the Ncell mobile app (5M+ installs), the Evaheld Legacy Vault, and a handful of Web3 apps.
Day to day I'm in React Native and SwiftUI on the client, Next.js on the web, and NestJS or Go services on Kubernetes — plus the usual PostgreSQL, Redis, and the occasional vector database. I care about code review, observability, and keeping things boring where boring is the right call.
