Backend Developer & Systems Thinker

I'm Ankush Dhoj Karki — I build scalable web systems and efficient API architectures in Python and Django, backed by a system administration background.

I engineer the parts nobody sees, so the parts everybody sees just work.

My route into development ran through system administration — which means I learned how software fails in production before I learned how to ship it.

That shapes how I build. I care about data models that stay honest under growth, API surfaces that don't need a changelog to understand, and deployments that are boring on purpose. Django is where those instincts found a home.

Right now I'm deepening my work with PostgreSQL, Django REST Framework, and the infrastructure around them — and writing about what I learn.

Things I built, and what they taught me.

A curated set of projects where an idea turned into something that actually runs.

A Quiet Corner 01

A Quiet Corner

A small corner of the internet where I write honestly about the things that shape me - code that frustrated me until it didn't, books that changed how I think, games I love, and ordinary days that turned out to be anything but. No expertise required to read here, just curiosity. I'm figuring things out as I go, and I thought it'd be nicer to do that out loud.

TalentLens 02 In progress

TalentLens

TalentLens is an AI-powered resume reviewer that instantly analyzes your CV and delivers structured, actionable feedback. Upload your PDF, and within seconds you'll know exactly what's working, what's missing, and what to improve — from formatting and keywords to impact and clarity. Built with Django, Gemini AI, and deployed on Vercel, it's a tool that turns the guesswork out of job applications and helps you put your best foot forward.

Notes from the long way round.

From Django internals to long-distance rides, I write about code, life, and the world between the curves. Consider it a public repository of ideas.
