About Me

Hi,

I’m a Software Engineer from Kathmandu, Nepal, with over 8 years of experience. I specialize in creating the “brain” behind apps and websites. I’ve worked with technologies like Ruby on Rails, GoLang, and AWS, building stuff that’s secure and reliable.

I enjoy both building and making sure things run smoothly. Imagine me as a mix of an architect and a maintenance person for the virtual world. I’m also really into making guides that help people understand what’s going on - like a tech translator.

I love making tools and CLIs that help other developers work better and smarter.

Looking forward to being a part of exciting projects!

A Little More About Me

Just like a unicorn sighting, behold my rare and mythical “hobbies” that I occasionally engage in, just to convince you I’m not a robot:

  • Strumming a Guitar (mostly to make the strings cry for mercy)
  • Taming Wild Motorcycles (in my dreams)
  • Having Awkward Stares with Nature
  • Watching Tech Reviews (as if I can afford them)
