About

5+ years building backend systems with Python and Django. Focused on scalable APIs, real-time data, and high-performance architectures. Based in Pokhara, Nepal.

Currently expanding into generative AI — building MCP servers, RAG pipelines, and AI-driven data solutions that bridge LLMs with traditional backend systems.

Strong foundation in core CS concepts means I can spot where AI-generated code is wrong — and know exactly how to fix it. I use AI as a tool, not a crutch.
