I'm Resham Sapkota
I'm a curious tinkerer and a passionate software engineer with a deep interest in
engineering efficient solutions to complex problems. With a solid foundation in computer science and
the software development lifecycle, I build robust, scalable applications following best engineering practices.
My approach balances current constraints with future scalability, always valuing clear communication and collaboration.
Beyond coding, I enjoy reading tech blogs, following news, and analyzing personal finance trends. I love cooking,
traveling, and trekking in the mountains. In my spare time, you'll find me playing sports, watching live matches,
or discussing life's adventures with friends.

My Professional Journey
- •Co-designed and built a merchant risk-screening microservice to automate risk evaluation, reducing manual review time from days to minutes. This enabled thousands of automated daily assessments and eliminated manual provisioning bottlenecks.
- •Engineered an SFTP-based financial workflow (Account Updater & Chargeback Management) leveraging Quartz scheduling and async queues to automate reconciliation, significantly reducing payment failures and ensuring uninterrupted recurring revenue streams.
- •Integrated Razorpay OAuth into the payment infrastructure with automated token-refresh workflows, enabling friction-free onboarding that cut setup time from a 14-day manual process to an instant, self-service flow.
- •Built a region-aware routing layer for Adyen API calls using the Singleton design pattern, ensuring payments are routed based on merchant business country (US/EU/UK) to satisfy data residency and compliance requirements.
- •Co-engineered the API design and full-stack PCI SAQ-A self-attestation feature (Vue.js/Webhooks), replacing a week-long manual workflow with an instant self-service automation.
- •Co-developed an event-driven email notification framework utilizing Amazon SQS and Mustache templates to decouple critical events (disputes, chargebacks). Ensured reliable, at-least-once delivery of financial alerts, enhancing operational transparency for thousands of merchants.
- •Expanded the global payment footprint by integrating Direct Debit methods (ACH/BACS/SEPA) and new gateways (Paystack), managing the full SDLC. These integrations enabled cross-continent payment acceptance (US, EU, Africa), contributing to an estimated $4M+ in new business pipeline.
- •Actively contributed to operational excellence by writing E2E test suites, managing release cycles, and handling on-call (ROTA) support. Consistently supported the team through PR reviews, technical documentation, and debugging/fixing production bugs and CRIs.
- •Co-developed an internal tool for feature usage metrics and visibility across accounting integrations, reducing PM overhead and saving hours of manual analysis and decision making.
- •Co-developed a full-stack, SSO-enabled internal data browser with IAM controls, reducing provisioning time by over 90% (from hours to minutes) and enabling engineering teams to access masked, multi-database environments instantly.
