I used to dream that I would climb the Himalayas one day, but I am climbing the skyscrapers of Silicon Valley instead.

I was born in a rural village in the Himalayan mountains to two school teachers who taught me to yearn for something bigger than myself. As I woke up every morning watching the sun rays bath the white snow of Mt. Kanchanjungha, I kept on wondering what it looks like from the top of the mountain. But when I turned six, my mom brought me to the city, where I saw a computer for the first time in my life. Watching password bullets appear and disappear with the strokes on a keyboard, and speed racing with AI drivers on NFS II, often bombarding them using cheat codes: I could not help but fall in love with computers. A temptation had begun to grow inside me and my dreams were no longer in the Himalayas but in the skyscrapers of the West. Realizing this, my parents gave me a chance in Kathmandu, a cornerstone of computer science education in Nepal. It was the beginning of my journey to becoming a full-stack software engineer.

Today, I am in Seattle, the place of my dreams. Over my six years of career, I had the chance to work with incredible people and to deliver solutions to customers, including governments, educational institutions, fashion and design, and so on. I use a wide repertoire of programming languages, including Python (my favorite), JavaScript, C/C++, C#, and bash. I have developed using multiple databases, including MySQL, MS-SQL, MongoDB, Redis, and CouchDB, and cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Heroku. I am apt for frontend development, backend development, DevOps management, and anything involving Linux.
