builder with a
security mindset_
I studied B.Tech in Educational IT at Kathmandu University (2022–2026). It started with programming fundamentals and turned into a fascination with how systems communicate — and how they can be secured.
Today I'm an IT Technician at Gurans Herbaceuticals, where I also design product packaging and labels. Outside work I build software: enterprise Django systems, security tooling and machine-learning experiments. I like Linux, CTFs and problems that don't have a tutorial yet.
