Senior Software Engineer · London 🇬🇧
15+ years building mission-critical platforms across
gaming · housing · fraud detection · workforce systems
I design and ship production systems that have to stay up, stay correct, and stay fast under real load. Over 15+ years I've worked across gaming, housing, fraud detection, and workforce platforms, usually somewhere between the database and the deploy pipeline. I care about calm software, clear writing, and tools that respect the people using them.
Lately I'm leaning into AI-assisted engineering: how teams keep trust, review, and documentation intact when much of the code is written with an agent in the loop.
- Shipping with Rails, Terraform, and Claude
- Building a trust and review layer for AI-assisted engineering (staffOS)
- Writing about engineering, AI, and life on the move
- Making a horde-shooter on the side, for the fun of it

I write essays on life, lessons, and software at rajgurung.me/writing (by no means a writer, just someone sharing from his little corner of the quiet internet). Recent themes: AI-assisted engineering, building calm products, and the long road from Nepal to the UK to wherever the next time zone happens to be.
