Backend developer from Chitwan, Nepal. I build the parts of applications users never see — APIs, data pipelines, auth systems, job queues. Node.js and TypeScript are home base. Obsessed with making things reliable before making them fast.

// about

I got into code through BCA at Sungava College, but the actual learning happened between classes — late nights, side projects, breaking things and figuring out why they broke.

I ended up in backend because I like the part nobody thinks about. A clean API contract. A queue that doesn't drop jobs. A schema that holds up six months later. Frontend is the face; backend is the skeleton.

Currently building with Node.js, TypeScript, and whatever database fits the problem. Getting deeper into headless commerce with Vendure and studying system design properly.
