Make systems go brrr...

About

I’m a software engineer who loves building reliable systems, clean architectures, and tools that make developers' lives easier. I enjoy working across the stack—whether it’s designing data workflows, optimizing backend services, or crafting smooth web interfaces. What motivates me most is the satisfaction of turning messy problems into elegant, maintainable solutions.

Right now, I work as a Lead Software Engineer at Ycotek, where I focus on data reliability, automation, and internal tooling. Before that, I contributed to Tala’s core financial services as a backend engineer, building scalable microservices and ship-ready fraud detection systems used by millions of customers. I also spent several years at LIS Nepal, working on a wide range of projects—from online judge platforms and monitoring automation to enterprise-grade systems for law enforcement and internal operations.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work in different environments: startups, enterprise teams, cross-functional engineering groups, and fast-moving internal product teams. I enjoy diving into unfamiliar stacks, building proofs of concept, improving existing codebases, and solving the kinds of problems that make systems more reliable and developers more productive.

Outside of work, I’m usually exploring new developer tools, experimenting with game development in Unreal Engine, listening to music, or just getting lost in a good story-driven game.
