A Little About Me

The Person
Behind the Work.

I grew up in Julpetar, a small village in Nawalpur — curious about everything, always taking things apart to understand how they work. That curiosity led me to engineering, and then naturally into code, research, and building things that solve real problems. When I'm not engineering or programming, you'll find me on a trail, sketching portraits, or deep into a documentary about something entirely unrelated to engineering.
