I work on the parts of software most people never see — APIs, data models, auth, and the plumbing that has to stay up at 3 a.m. Currently a backend developer at Digital Event Pvt. Ltd., building MeroEvent, an event management platform.
Outside of work I build tools I actually want to use: an end-to-end encrypted messaging service in Rust, a Bikram Sambat calendar engine for Nepali applications, and a CLI for configuring AI coding agents. Most of it ends up open source.
- 🔭 I'm currently building MeroChat — a self-hostable, E2EE messaging microservice in Rust
- 🦀 I'm currently learning systems programming, compiler internals, and distributed systems design
- 🌱 I'm contributing to open source — most recently rust-ui, a Shadcn-inspired component registry for Leptos
- 👯 I'm open to backend contract work and open-source collaboration
- 💬 Ask me about Rust, Go, backend architecture, or anything here
- ⚡ Fun fact — I migrated my daily driver from Windows to Linux and have not looked back once
Contributing to projects I use is the fastest way I've found to actually learn a language. Currently working through the Rust ecosystem.
