01 / About

Background

I am a Computer Engineering graduate from Nepal working on backend systems, AI-assisted applications, and the infrastructure that keeps them running. Most of my time goes into writing Python services, designing data models, and making sure the things I build behave predictably under real conditions.

My approach to engineering is unglamorous on purpose: understand the problem, keep the design small, write code that the next reader can follow, and verify behaviour instead of assuming it. I care about clear boundaries between components, sensible error handling, and deployments that are repeatable.

Right now I am deepening my work in backend engineering, applied AI, cloud, and DevOps by shipping projects end to end — from the first API endpoint to the container that runs it in production.

Selected work

AI Engineer 365

In development

A daily engineering system for building and shipping AI features.

A structured workspace for designing, testing, and documenting AI-assisted workflows. Covers prompt versioning, model call orchestration, and reproducible evaluation of outputs so results can be compared instead of guessed at.

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • OpenAI API
  • PostgreSQL
  • Docker

Expense Tracker CLI

Maintained

A fast, scriptable command-line tool for personal expense tracking.

Terminal-first expense tracking with categorised entries, monthly summaries, and CSV export. Built around a small persistence layer and tested command handlers, so the tool stays reliable as new commands are added.

  • SQLite
  • Typer
  • Pytest

Ghaready

Shipped

A property discovery platform connecting listings with the people searching them.

Full-stack application with search, filtering, and listing management. Focus areas were query performance on filtered searches, clean REST boundaries, and a data model that tolerates incomplete listing information.

  • React
  • Node.js
  • Express.js
  • MongoDB

Jyunar

Shipped

A web product built around structured content and a simple, fast interface.

Designed and implemented the application layer end to end: authentication, content modelling, and a responsive interface. Deployment is automated so a merge to main results in a verified release.
