About Me
More than a decade building different kinds of software, from web systems to products at scale. As an Engineering Manager, I help engineers grow while still writing code with the team.
My work spans people, delivery, technical quality, cross-functional alignment, and organizational clarity.
I co-founded a web agency in Nepal, then moved into product engineering for international clients. I joined a German startup for customer-facing and backoffice products, where the team scaled from a dozen to 100+ people; now I lead an engineering team at a large German Edutech company.
I also run a small homelab, tinkering with self-hosted services and automation pipelines.
In my free time, I like being outdoors and photographing the beauty of nature and the world.
