A bit about me

I'm a full-stack engineer based in Kathmandu with six years spent turning fuzzy product ideas into software people actually use. I live in the seam between backend and frontend: typed APIs, sensible data models, and interfaces that feel quick and obvious. I care about the boring parts that make products durable — observability, tests that catch real bugs, and CI that stays green. Recently I've been deep in the React Server Components world, edge runtimes, and squeezing Core Web Vitals on payment-heavy flows. When I'm offline you'll find me trail running above Nagarkot or tinkering with a Raspberry Pi home lab.

praise

Kind words

“Aarav is the engineer you want owning the hard part. He turned our payments rewrite into a calm, well-tested rollout — zero incidents on launch day, and the dashboards just got faster.”

Sneha Pradhan

Product Manager, Leapfrog Technology

“He shipped our merchant dashboard solo and made it feel like a team of three. Pragmatic, fast, and genuinely cares about the end user. We rebooked him the next quarter.”

Bikash Thapa

Founder, Sajilo Pay

“Rare to find someone equally strong on database design and frontend polish. Aarav's audit found a 1.2s LCP win we'd missed for months. Worth every rupee.”

Anita Gurung

CTO, Studio Folio
