About Me
From first lines of code to building high-volume commercial templates, here is my story.
The Story
How I got here
Started with curiosity, stayed for the craft. Here's the journey — every milestone that shaped how I build today.
My development philosophy
I believe great software comes from a combination of technical excellence, design sensibility, and genuine care about the people who use what you build.
Code that ships
I care about production, not just localhost. Every project I take on is meant to be used by real people.
Performance is a feature
Slow sites lose users. I optimize from day one — not as an afterthought.
Every pixel has a purpose
Beautiful UIs aren't decoration. They're how products communicate trust, quality, and care.
"At 17, I've already shipped products that handle real traffic, real payments, and real users. I'm just getting started."

First Line of Code
Discovered programming at 15. Fell down the rabbit hole of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Never looked back.
First Real Client
Built Nepezi Mart — a fully functional digital games store on WordPress. My first real money, first real deadline, first real user.
Full Stack Unlocked
Leveled up to React, Node.js, and databases. Delivered GamePort Nepal — a comprehensive e-commerce platform serving gaming communities worldwide.
AI Platform Launch
Built GenForAI from scratch — a production-ready AI chat platform with multi-model support, streaming, image generation, and a developer API.
