Not the developer. Not the résumé.
Just the story, from the beginning.
Born in the city.
Rooted in the mountains.
I was born in Kathmandu on the 18th of Shrawan, 2060 — August 3rd, 2003 by the Gregorian calendar. Kathmandu is the only city I've ever really known. Its noise, its traffic, its particular kind of chaos — all of it is baked into how I think.
But Kathmandu isn't where my family is from. My village is called Duda, tucked into Solukhumbu district — the same district that holds the highest mountain on Earth. I've spent my life in the capital, but the mountains are still somewhere underneath everything.
I think that split — city upbringing, mountain roots — is part of why I've never fully settled into being just one kind of person. There's a restlessness in it that I've learned to put to use rather than fight.
Twenty-three years,
one degree, no shortcuts.
I'm 23 now. I completed my Bachelor's in Information Technology at Amrit Science Campus, graduating with a 3.56 GPA. It wasn't a school known for producing software engineers by default — it was a decision I made, and one I had to actually follow through on.
The number itself was never really the point. What mattered was learning to finish things properly — to sit with a problem long enough to actually solve it instead of walking away the moment it got difficult. That habit followed me straight into how I build software today.
I take things apart
to understand them.
My relationship with technology has never been purely professional. I genuinely love it — gadgets, new devices, the small mechanics of how something actually works underneath the surface.
Give me anything with a circuit board and I'll want to open it, understand it, and probably try to fix it — whether it's broken or not. That impulse to pull something apart just to see how it's built is the same impulse that eventually turned into a career.
Everything I do professionally now — the code, the systems, the architecture decisions — traces back to that same root curiosity. It just found a more productive outlet along the way.
I talk to people.
I actually mean that.
I genuinely love interacting with people. Conversation isn't a chore I tolerate for the sake of client work — it's something I look forward to. Ask me a question and you'll probably get a longer answer than you expected, because I actually care about getting it right.
That shows up in how I work in very concrete ways. I communicate clearly instead of disappearing when something gets complicated. I solve problems by talking through them out loud rather than avoiding the conversation. And I take initiative without needing to be told twice.
Where it started,
on paper.
My first real step into this industry was an internship as a Full-Stack Developer at Paradise Adventure Pvt. Ltd. It wasn't glamorous — it was long hours learning how theory actually behaves once real users and real data get involved.
That same project would later become the architectural template for several others. Everything traces back to this one certificate, and the version of me that earned it.
Still in Kathmandu.
Building for the world.
These days I'm working full-time across web, mobile, and design — for clients in Nepal, New Zealand, and beyond. The city that raised me is still where I sit every single day this work gets done.
I don't think of that as a limitation. If anything, it's given me a clearer sense of what actually matters when you're building something for someone — because most of what I've built has been for people I've never met in person, in time zones I've never stood in.
Not for the views.
Just for the memory.
Photography found me almost by accident. I started taking photos to hold onto moments and the beauty of the world around me — nothing more calculated than that.
No pursuit of virality, no algorithm to please. Just a phone camera, a decent eye, and a growing habit I plan to take a lot further. These are unedited, just as I took them.
That's the story so far. The code is just where it's currently pointed.
