Python developer and Linux enthusiast from Nepal. I build assistive IoT hardware and AI-powered tools that solve real problems for real people.
Chitwan, Bagmati Province, Nepal
I am a developer from Chitwan, Nepal, working mostly in Python and Linux. What keeps me going is building things that help people who are often left out of the conversation - elderly people who live alone, students who are visually impaired, and juniors who are just starting to learn to code.
Most of my work starts as a weekend hackathon idea and grows from there. I have led a team to build BABU, a small assistive device that talks to elderly users, reminds them to take their medicine, and keeps a caretaker in the loop through an app. It won the Best IoT Award at the Programmer Unknown Battleground hackathon. I have also built Aroma AI, a Llama-based assistant that answers questions about my college using vector embeddings, and Netra, an assistive device for the visually impaired.
Alongside building, I mentor. At the Aroma IT Fest I guided 100+ junior students through a four-day web and mobile app workshop, and at CyberUtshav 2.0 I mentored in the hackathon itself. More recently I have been writing about where AI coding tools help and where they quietly get in the way of actually understanding your own codebase.
These days I am focused on Python, Linux and applied AI - and on the fundamentals, because AI can write the instructions but it cannot take responsibility for the design.
Team BABUZZ · Full-Time
Led a three-person team that designed, built and demoed BABU from scratch over a single hackathon weekend - hardware prototype, firmware and a caretaker mobile app. The team won the Best IoT Award at the international Programmer Unknown Battleground (PUBG) hackathon run by Developers Association Jhapa.
CyberUtshav 2.0 Hackathon
Mentored participants through the CyberUtshav 2.0 hackathon. The event brought together 100+ members of the Nepali tech community and it was a genuinely inspiring few days to watch juniors turn ideas into working code.
Aroma IT Fest 2.0 & Tech Workshop · Aroma College
Part of the mentor team for Aroma IT Fest 2.0 and the accompanying tech workshop. I mentored students in web and mobile app development over four hands-on days, helping them build small apps from scratch, then sat with them through a closing mini hackathon. Over 800 junior students visited the fest, where we showcased Aroma AI and Netra.
Kathmandu University
Aroma College · Bharatpur, Chitwan
Ranked 140 in the KUCAT 2026 entrance examination for BE in Computer Engineering.
Things I have designed, built and shipped with a team.
Assistive IoT companion for elderly Nepali · Team BABUZZ
A small, friendly hardware device built for elderly people in Nepal who live alone. BABU talks and interacts to reduce loneliness, reminds them to take their medicine on time, and stays connected to a caretaker through a linked mobile app. Built as a working prototype with a caretaker app during the Programmer Unknown Battleground hackathon.
Llama-based assistant with vector embeddings
A retrieval-augmented assistant built on top of Llama. College data was turned into vector embeddings so the model could answer questions about the college accurately instead of guessing. Demonstrated to 800+ junior students at Aroma IT Fest 2.0.
Assistive device for the visually impaired
A hardware + software assistive device that helps visually impaired users move around and understand their surroundings more independently. Built and demonstrated at Aroma IT Fest 2.0.
Mobile app connecting physics to real life
A mobile application that helps children connect classroom physics with things they already see in everyday life, built and demoed at Aroma IT Fest 2.0.
Platform for entrance-exam preparation
A study platform designed to help students prepare for their entrance exams - built and demoed at Aroma IT Fest 2.0.
Logistic regression on student IQ and CGPA
A logistic regression model that predicts whether a candidate will be placed, using IQ and CGPA as the input features. Written as a notebook to show the logic of logistic regression using the tools scikit-learn provides.
GPU monitoring widget for KDE Plasma
A GPU monitoring widget for the KDE Plasma desktop, inspired by the ZayronXIO widget.
Disk and RAM usage monitor for KDE Plasma
A disk usage monitoring tool for KDE Plasma, inspired by the Thot RAM and CPU widget.
Automated YouTube channel using the Reddit and YouTube APIs
A fully automated YouTube channel built on the Reddit and YouTube APIs. This repository is a fork, so it is listed as a fork rather than as work started from scratch.
Programmer Unknown Battleground (PUBG) Hackathon · Developers Association Jhapa · Team BABUZZ
Aroma College · CyberUtshav 2.0
Ran hands-on web and mobile development sessions for 100+ junior students, and mentored teams through two national-level hackathons.
Python & Linux questions
Active in the Python and Linux tags on Stack Overflow, asking and answering questions about shell utilities, keyboard input on Linux and other day-to-day development problems.
Essay · "Soon all programmers are getting replaced by AI"
A widely shared piece arguing that without foundational knowledge of your own codebase, an AI-generated recipe still leaves you with an unserviceable dish. Tools can write perfect instructions, but mastering the fundamentals stays the developer's responsibility.
Open to internships, junior developer roles and collaboration on assistive technology projects. Based in Chitwan, Nepal - happy to work remotely.
