Hi I'm Raghav
I'm a software engineer from Kathmandu. I've built blockchain infrastructure for UNICEF aid distribution and an AI that rates your outfits. The UNICEF work made sense. The fashion app was less obvious, but here we are.

What I work on
I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Leapfrog Nepal. Before that I was Director of Engineering and Tech Lead at Rumsan Associates — Kubernetes, microservices, and the occasional RFC I had to convince my team was worth the afternoon. The aid platform we built runs across six countries, so when something broke at 2am, it wasn't just annoying.
Outside that, I'm building: Zzyra, an AI workflow engine, DripOrSkip, an AI stylist (the outfit-judging one), and FanFuel, a tool that turns thousands of social media comments into content ideas before the noise gets too loud. Most of my weekends go somewhere in this list.

5 highlights · 8 technologies
Highlights
- Architected and scaled Rahat, a blockchain-based aid distribution platform across 6 countries. Its fault-tolerant design (NPR 10M+ in digital aid, 100% transaction atomicity) helped secure $500K+ in UNICEF funding.
- Cut deployment time by 80% (10 minutes to 2) and removed environment drift with GitOps (ArgoCD) and Kubernetes-native CI/CD for 6 concurrent global projects.
- Migrated to ERC-4337 account abstraction, improving transaction success rates and removing manual gas management for 20K+ non-technical users in low-connectivity regions.
- Redesigned a monolithic Node.js core into high-availability NestJS microservices with RabbitMQ for asynchronous processing of sensitive financial events, a 4x throughput gain.
- Mentored 15+ engineers and set up an internal RFC process, raising cross-team code quality and reducing post-release bugs.

Selected work
- Zzyra.io: AI Workflow Automation Across Web2 and Web3An AI-driven workflow engine that connects everyday Web2 APIs with Web3 networks like Hedera and Ethereum, and has been in grant discussions with Hedera Hashgraph.
- Sisyphus Academica — The Research Paper Writing ArmyA self-coordinating swarm of 20+ specialised agents that stress-tests a research idea, drafts the paper, has it attacked by an adversarial review board, verifies every citation against independent sources and outputs compilation-ready LaTeX.
- Building a Contract Review Agent with LLMs, pgvector, and a Dash of Production RegretHow I wired Claude, FastAPI, and Postgres into a legal review pipeline — clause extraction, risk scoring, RAG-backed redlines, and the migration bug that silently broke production.
