Python enthusiast who translates ideas into functional code — and occasionally translates functional code back into a debugging marathon. Web apps, APIs, automation scripts and ETL pipelines, served with a strong commitment to code quality (and questionable amounts of coffee ☕).

About Me
I'm a Software Developer from Kathmandu, Nepal, adept at translating ideas into functional code. I build web applications, REST APIs and automation scripts — and I keep a strong commitment to code quality and collaborative teamwork (mostly because my rubber duck stopped giving useful code reviews).
My toolbox ranges from Django web apps and computer-vision pipelines to full-on ETL orchestration in Azure & Snowflake. If it involves Python, a terminal, and three browser tabs of Stack Overflow, I'm probably enjoying myself.
Adaptability
Change is never personal — it's inevitable. I break projects into smaller parts so if something breaks, I can fix it fast instead of panicking slowly.
Team Leader
Good at setting clear goals, making a statement, influencing people, and keeping the whole team pointed in the right direction.
Time Management
I prioritize what actually matters so deadlines get met without last-minute chaos — most of the time. Pressure makes diamonds, apparently.

Hobbies
Because even a Python enthusiast needs a break from Python.
Drawing
Turning blank pages into slightly-less-blank pages, one sketch at a time. 🎨
Trekking
Professional hill-climber, amateur breath-catcher. Nepal's mountains are basically my gym. ⛰️
Movies
Certified couch critic. Will debate plot holes for hours, with popcorn as evidence. 🍿
Magic
Making things disappear — mostly card tricks, occasionally production bugs. 🪄
