About Ashim Karki

As a dedicated software developer who has been working in tech for over five years now. During this time, I’ve sharpened my skills in Java programming, Spring Boot, DevOps, Cloud technologies also focusing on building software that is reliable, scalable, and adaptable to business needs. I use Jenkins extensively to automate parts of the development process, which helps make things run smoother and catch problems in an early stage. I work with various Java tools like Core Java, Spring Boot, and Spring MVC to build Microservices and web applications. I’m also comfortable creating several RESTful web services and APIs, which help different systems talk to each other properly. Working with AWS has refined my skills a lot about cloud computing and how to build systems that work across multiple servers. When it comes to handling data, I use JSON in a regular manner, and I manage my projects through Jira to keep everything organized and make sure that my team communication stays clear. This helps keep projects moving forward without getting stuck. Throughout my career, I’ve tried to balance learning new technical skills with understanding how technology affects the business side of things. I’ve taken the lead on Java projects and worked to make CI/CD pipelines better using Jenkins, always keeping in mind both the technical quality and the business value. Looking back, my time in tech has been about constantly learning new things and reaching important milestones. I’ve built up both my development abilities and my understanding of how all these systems work in production. Going forward, I’m very excited to use everything I’ve learned to handle any new problems and
