Samrat Neupane

Backend & MVP Engineer

Backend & MVP Engineer • Founder at Asteroid Studio • Kathmandu, Nepal

I build MVPs fast and fix backend systems that break under pressure.

If your product is stuck, unstable, or moving too slowly, I can help you ship with confidence. I work with founders and teams that need clear technical direction, strong backend execution, and reliable delivery.

What I Help You Deliver

MVP Build (Backend + Core System)

From idea to working product quickly. I build the backend, core flows, and technical foundation you need to launch and validate.

Backend Stabilization & Recovery

If your system is breaking under load or difficult to maintain, I identify bottlenecks, fix root causes, and make it production-stable.

Architecture for Scale

I design APIs, database structure, queues, and service boundaries so your product can scale without constant rewrites.

Delivery flow

How I Work

  1. 1

    Find the real bottleneck

    I start by understanding what is blocking delivery, reliability, or growth so we solve the root issue first.

  2. 2

    Design the right approach

    I map the architecture and delivery plan around your timeline, constraints, and product goals.

  3. 3

    Build with ownership

    I implement with clear milestones, practical communication, and decisions that keep your team moving.

  4. 4

    Ship and hand over cleanly

    You get a working system that is stable, understandable, and ready for your team to extend.

Best Fit

  • Founders launching or validating an MVP
  • Teams with unstable or messy backend systems
  • Products that need to move fast without cutting reliability
  • Projects where ownership and execution matter more than meetings

Probably Not a Fit

Very small one-off tasks, unclear ownership, or low-budget work with urgent expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of projects do you usually take?

I focus on MVP backend builds, backend stabilization, API/system architecture, and scaling work for active products.

Can you work with my existing team?

Yes. I can work independently or alongside your engineers, depending on what your project needs.

How fast can we start?

If scope and priorities are clear, we can usually start quickly after an initial alignment call.

Do you only work through Upwork?

Upwork is the fastest way to start and manage contracts. If needed, we can discuss other engagement paths after initial alignment.

What do you need from me to begin?

Share what you are building, what is currently blocked, and your timeline. I will help define the best next step.

What is your typical rate model?

Depends on scope and urgency. Most work is either fixed-scope milestones or focused weekly engagements.

Need to ship faster or stabilize your backend?

Start on Upwork to move quickly with clear scope, communication, and delivery.

Worked with me before? You can leave feedback on Upwork after contract completion.
