SAMIR POKHREL
Software Engineer
Backend systems, real-time infrastructure, and agentic platforms.
I build the parts of software systems that are usually invisible when they work well: gateways, queues, transport layers, real-time pipelines, and the glue between products and infrastructure.
Right now I'm leading core engineering for Lasius at Adex International, where I work on agentic workflows, MCP server ecosystems, connector frameworks, and unified auth across tools and transports.
Before that, I spent several years on Eventsmo building large-event media systems, including WebRTC ingest, FFmpeg processing, RTMP pipelines, and HLS delivery. I write here to think clearly about these systems and the tradeoffs behind them.
What keeps me interested is the point where product decisions meet systems design: how tools are exposed, how failures are handled, how observability is built in, and how complexity can stay manageable as a platform grows.
My Career So Far
Roles that shaped how I build backend systems, real-time infrastructure, and production software.

How I Work
I like systems that are explicit, observable, and easy to reason about under pressure. That usually means clear contracts, boring-but-reliable infrastructure where possible, and careful attention to failure modes before scale forces the issue.
I tend to work from the boundaries inward: transport, auth, data flow, and operational constraints first, then the product surface that sits on top of them.
- Design around failure before traffic exposes it.
- Prefer clear interfaces over clever abstractions.
- Build for observability, not just correctness.
Beyond Work
Outside of engineering, I spend a lot of time reading, writing, and trying to sharpen how I think. I care about good questions, clear communication, and the kind of long-term craft that only shows up after repetition.
Kathmandu evenings, headphones on, and notes half-finished in a draft folder is usually where the next idea starts.
- Reading systems, product, and software design books.
- Writing long-form notes to sharpen technical thinking.
- Paying attention to craft, taste, and clear communication.
