About

I ship production software, and I like the part where something is broken and nobody knows why yet.

I'm a full-stack developer at Iconiq, where I own the frontend and backend of a live ecommerce platform end to end: authentication, image pipelines, transactional email, an admin dashboard, and the deployments that keep it all running.

Before that, five months of DevOps internships and an AWS Solutions Architect, Associate certification got me comfortable with the layer underneath the app. How APIs behave under load, what HTTP and HTTPS are really doing on the wire, and how to work backwards from a symptom to a root cause.

The part I'm most confident about is communication. I can explain a problem to an engineer and to someone who just wants to know when it will be fixed, in English or Nepali, and I stay calm when a system is down and people are waiting.
