Nepal ↔ United Kingdom
A point of view shaped between places
Living and studying across Nepal and the UK taught me to notice context: how culture, language, confidence, and belonging can change the same experience.
Curious mind · thoughtful software
A curious software developer turning real problems into calm, useful products.

Four short notes on curiosity, unusual connections, perspective, and solving the problem that actually matters.
“Stay curious. Look sideways. Solve what matters.”
Nepal ↔ United Kingdom
Living and studying across Nepal and the UK taught me to notice context: how culture, language, confidence, and belonging can change the same experience.
Curiosity
01I rarely stop at the first answer. Better questions usually reveal the more useful product.
Read the noteSideways thinking
02I connect ideas across journeys, stories, food, place, and learning to find a less obvious route forward.
Read the notePerspective
03Nepal and the UK have taught me to design for context, transition, culture, and belonging.
Read the noteUseful work
04I want the final product to help someone—not simply prove that the technology works.

5 projects exploring how software can make movement, memory, food, learning, and arrival easier to navigate.
Problem
Independent restaurants need a direct way to accept online orders without relying entirely on marketplace platforms.
Solution
A responsive ordering prototype that connects QR menu discovery, configurable dishes, Stripe checkout, live order tracking, and restaurant operations across customer, kitchen, and staff views.

Problem
Planning a London journey can be difficult when people know landmarks or plain-English destinations rather than exact station names.
Solution
A journey-planning prototype that interprets natural-language requests, resolves landmarks, combines TfL routes with live status and fares, and presents each result as clear steps on an interactive map.

Key features
Main technologies
Problem
Oral folk tales can disappear when they are never recorded, written down, or passed to another generation.
Solution
An AI-assisted preservation platform where people can record or type stories, clean and translate them, generate illustrations, preserve voice audio, and export accessible creative formats such as picture books.

Full-stack developer — IBM AI challenge project
Key features
Main technologies
Problem
International students arriving in the UK often need practical guidance, budgeting, documents, community support, and local information across disconnected sources.
Solution
A settling-in companion that brings a guided 30-day journey, personalised AI assistance, budgeting, document storage, maps, community features, messaging, and moderation tools into one responsive web application.

Key features
Main technologies
Problem
Students and early-career developers can struggle to turn broad learning goals into consistent, meaningful development practice.
Solution
An AI-assisted platform that turns a development goal into a small daily mission, lets the user review and edit the work, and creates an approved contribution in a selected GitHub repository.

I look beyond the obvious, connect ideas across different worlds, and build for genuine human needs.
Following an idea from the human problem to interface, logic, data and delivery.
Building the APIs, data models and application logic that make simplicity possible.
Starting with what someone is trying to understand, decide, remember or reach.
Learning through projects, feedback, postgraduate study and careful experimentation.
I keep returning to the same kind of moment: someone is trying to find their way, hold on to something meaningful, or make an unfamiliar system feel manageable.
My projects move from restaurant ordering to journey planning, folk-tale preservation, and settling into a new country. Different products, one instinct: understand the real problem and make the next step clearer.
My perspective has been shaped between Nepal and the UK—between community-centred experiences and the complexity of beginning again somewhere new.
I like software that feels calm, explains itself, and respects the person using it. Underneath that simplicity, I enjoy interfaces, application logic, data, integrations, security, and delivery.
I am still learning in public—using every project to ask a better question than the last.
A practical stack covering interfaces, backend development, data, integrations, and deployment workflows.
