Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSanjeev Ghimire is a Principal Software Engineer based in California with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, AI-enabled products and scaling startups to market. He combines hands-on backend and DevOps expertise—evident from contributions improving IBM’s Watson demo stack and Kubernetes operator work—with entrepreneurial experience founding Chalchitra TV and Kwant.ai, where he architected streaming, DRM, and media pipelines on AWS. Comfortable across Java, Golang, microservices, containers, and CI/CD, he has a track record of turning prototypes into production systems for finance, media, and construction industries. A pragmatic builder and technical advocate, he has led developer outreach, created open-source code patterns for Watson/IBM Cloud, and raised funding while managing cross-functional engineering teams. Less obvious: he blends product-facing responsibilities (payments, DRM, analytics) with low-level performance and deployment fixes, making him effective at both strategy and execution.
