About

Building for the cloud, learning in public.

I'm a Computer Systems Engineering graduate who co-led a team of 10 engineers to ship kheldim.com — a tournament registration platform for Nepal's sports community. That experience showed me how critical automated deployments and reliable infrastructure really are.

Now I spend every spare hour learning Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, AWS, Azure, and Infrastructure as Code — and I document every experiment, failure, and breakthrough on Medium. I believe the best way to learn is to teach.
