About Manip Poudel

I'm a DevOps Team Lead and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer based in Bharatpur, Nepal. I work remotely with international teams, currently leading infrastructure operations at wesionaryTEAM, a software company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

Over the past 4+ years I've built and run production infrastructure for client companies, most of it through that agency work. The goal on every project is the same: nobody on the development team should have to think about the infrastructure.

I came to infrastructure from backend engineering, so I still treat it like a programming problem. If I find myself doing something in the AWS console a second time, the third time I write Terraform for it instead.

I started as a backend developer at NAXA, building geospatial REST APIs with Python, Django, and PostGIS. I know what it's like to be on the other side of a broken deploy. From there I joined Leapfrog Technology's DevOps program, then moved to wesionaryTEAM, where I've grown into the DevOps Team Lead role and now own infrastructure decisions across 10+ concurrent production environments.

I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (003) certifications — tools I use in production every day. I'm open to remote DevOps, Cloud, and SRE roles with teams worldwide, and to international opportunities.
