I bridge the gap between technical implementation and product strategy. With a strong foundation in Django, FastAPI, and LLM integration, I build data-driven products that solve real problems in underserved markets across Nepal and beyond.
Currently pursuing BSc.CSIT at Rajarshi Janak University. When not shipping products, I mentor students, teach backend dev & GenAI, and run a YouTube channel (BroklyMaster) for the developer community.
