Summary
Prabesh Thapa is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer specializing in security, resilience, and distributed systems, with 11 years of industry experience and a strong backend and infrastructure background.

His career spans SRE roles across startups and enterprise environments, and he currently leads Security & Reliability initiatives at Capsule while working fully remotely.

He is happy to discuss technology, human behavior, and the psychology behind resilient teams and systems.
