Building bridges between data and decisions.

I'm a Computer Science graduate student at Texas Tech University, passionate about crafting solutions that sit at the intersection of full-stack development and machine learning. With a background in both software engineering and cybersecurity, I bring a security-first mindset to every project I build.

My journey started with a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Kathmandu, Nepal, where I developed a deep foundation in systems thinking. Since then, I've contributed to Agile development teams, identified security vulnerabilities, and built predictive analytics tools used for real-world decision-making. I thrive in collaborative environments and love tackling challenges that require both analytical thinking and creative problem-solving.
