ABOUT

Building robust systems
that actually ship.

Backend engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Designing and developing scalable SaaS products across desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms. Currently leading technical decisions and mentoring at Aricalot Technology.

I specialize in Java and Spring Boot ecosystems — from greenfield system design to performance tuning running JVMs at scale. I've shipped production systems serving users across the United States, Australia, and Nepal.

“I ship systems that survive the rewrite,
the scale-up, and the team that comes after.”
