The person behind the code
About me.
The longer version — what I do, where I'm from, and what I do when I'm not staring at a terminal.
I'm Dipendra Sharma, a backend-focused full-stack developer and Computer Science student at Chitkara University. I write backend systems the way most people write frontend — obsessively, until the details are right. Give me a schema and I'll find the index it's missing. Give me an endpoint and I'll ask what happens at ten thousand requests, not ten.
Most of what I know, I learned by building things all the way to production instead of stopping at a tutorial's finish line — Yeti Jobs, a job portal with a real database schema and real auth, is the clearest proof of that. Outside of shipping code, I spend a lot of time on LeetCode, not to collect a solved-count, but because every hard problem teaches me to see the shape of a solution before I write a line of it.
I'm currently available for internships— if you're hiring for a backend or full-stack role and want someone who cares about the parts of engineering that don't show up in a demo, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
Where I'm from
Baglung, Nepal
I grew up in Baglung, Nepal, a place where mountains are part of everyday life. The same mountains people travel across continents to see were outside my window. A few hours away, the landscape changes completely. The hills give way to the flatlands of Butwal, in the heart of Lumbini, the birthplace of peace. Looking back, I realize I grew up between two very different worlds, both of which shaped how I see the world today.
My journey eventually took me from Nepal to Chitkara University. At the time, I was simply excited to sit in front of a computer and understand how things worked behind the screen. I never imagined that curiosity would lead me to build production applications, design backend systems, work with cloud infrastructure, and create projects used by real people.
From a kid fascinated by a computer screen to someone building systems with thousands of lines of code, the distance feels much greater than the kilometers between Baglung, Butwal, and Chandigarh. Every project, every bug, every late night spent learning has been a small step forward. There is still a long road ahead, but that is what makes the journey worth pursuing.
Explore your potential. That phrase brought me to Chitkara. Looking back, it feels less like a slogan and more like a challenge I am still working to live up to every day.
Off the clock
What I'm into outside of shipping code.
Learning new languages
Picking up new spoken languages, one real conversation at a time — not an app streak. Currently: German (A1)
Backend infrastructure
Reading about how large systems stay up isn't just work for me — I'd do it on a day off too.
Games, indoors and out
Whatever's available, indoor or outdoor — it's part of the daily routine, not an occasional thing.
Talking to strangers
Making a habit of striking up conversations with people I don't know, on purpose, to get better at it.
Available for internships
