Senior Software Project Manager & ICT Specialist with a passion for delivering technology that creates real-world impact.
I'm Rishi Aryal, a Senior Software Project Manager and ICT Specialist based in Kathmandu, Nepal. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I have led the delivery of enterprise-scale digital systems for governments, United Nations agencies, World Bank-funded programs, and international organizations across Nepal and Timor-Leste.
My expertise spans the full software delivery lifecycle — from requirements gathering and Agile sprint planning in Jira, through to production deployment, staff training, and institutional handover. I have a particular strength in Management Information Systems (MIS), Electronic Case Management Systems (eCMS), Education MIS (EMIS), and Social Protection platforms.
Beyond project management, I am passionate about DevOps practices, Python-driven data analytics, and building systems that last beyond donor cycles through strong capacity-building and documentation.
On-time, on-budget delivery with transparent reporting and stakeholder alignment.
Cross-cultural collaboration across Asia, working with international donors and governments.
Deep knowledge of SDLC, Agile, DevOps, and modern software architecture.
KPIs, dashboards, and analytics to drive informed decisions at every project phase.
