Bio
Born in rural village of Kapilvastu Nepal, I got access to
proper computer science class in seventh grade. Looking at my
growing interest and academic performance, my parents allowed
me to move to a big public school in another district to study

When I'm not coding, you'll find me watching Johnny Harris'
videos on YouTube or editing my own videos. I love creating
content, both in visual and textual format, and sharing my
knowledge.
