Who I am

About me

I'm a final-year BIT student at Cosmos College of Management and Technology, Kathmandu — on the verge of graduating with a deeper hunger to build than when I started. What began as curiosity about how websites work has grown into a genuine passion for backend systems and clean architecture.

In a short time I've gone from knowing basic HTML and CSS to building production-ready REST APIs with Node.js, Express and MongoDB — complete with JWT authentication, password hashing and automated email systems. Every project taught me something new, and every bug made me sharper.

I believe the best developers are the ones who never stop being students. I adapt fast, learn faster, and I'm always looking for the next challenge that pushes me out of my comfort zone.
