BE Software Engineering student at Everest Engineering College, Pokhara University. Based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I build frontend interfaces, dashboard apps, and Linux systems — caring about what happens underneath, not just on the surface.
How I think.
No black boxes
If I can't explain what a tool is doing underneath, I don't want to depend on it. That's why I've built my own Linux from source more than once, and why I reach for Rust when I want to own what's happening in my code.
Terminal-first
I work in the terminal, test in the browser. Biased toward small improvements that survive real, repeated use over flashy features that look good exactly once.
Read the source
When something breaks, I don't stop at the error message — I go find out why, in the dependency, the driver, or the spec itself. That habit is what got me through dependency chains, session bugs, and API breaks that a quick fix wouldn't have solved.
My career direction is kernel and systems engineering — specifically Rust for Linux kernel driver development. I've shipped two Rust projects: minigrep and processMonitor (reads live data from /proc). Currently working through the os.phil-opp.com "Writing an OS in Rust" series.
Tools I use.
My deepest project.
My daily driver is a Linux system I built entirely from source: LFS 13.0 + systemd on kernel 7.0, running Hyprland as the Wayland compositor. Every package — compiled by hand.
Let's talk.
I'm open to internships, interesting projects, and conversations about systems, Rust, and frontend architecture. I prefer things that actually work over things that look good in a slide.
