From the Himalayas
to the harbour city.

The move

I came to Australia to study Computer Science at Southern Cross University. What started as a degree became a permanent home. Sydney is where I built my career, started a family, and found my footing as a builder and operator. I'm an Australian citizen now, but Nepal never leaves you — it's in how I think about community, resilience, and what matters.

How I work

I've spent 14+ years in the space between technology and growth. I started as a junior engineer at Adecco, writing SQL and debugging front-ends. Then I caught the entrepreneurial bug — started a digital agency during the mobile revolution, grew it, and saw it acquired in 2016.

Since then, I've been the growth lead at companies that matter to me: digital health platforms helping people with chronic conditions, NDIS marketplaces connecting providers with participants, telehealth apps bringing healthcare to phones. I'm drawn to regulated, complex markets where the work actually helps people.

My approach is hands-on. I'll set up the analytics, run the ad campaigns, build the landing pages, wire up the CRM, and sit with the sales team to understand why leads aren't converting. I believe in full-stack operations — not just strategy decks, but deployed campaigns and measurable outcomes.

Vipassana & inner work

I practice Vipassana meditation — the technique taught by S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. It's a practice of observing reality as it is, not as you wish it to be. Sit still, observe sensations, don't react.

This practice has shaped how I approach everything: business problems, personal challenges, and the noise of modern life. In a world optimized for distraction, the ability to sit with discomfort and observe clearly is the most underrated skill I know.

Bitcoin & conviction

I'm a Bitcoin standard advocate. Not because it's trending, but because I understand what unsound money does to people — especially in countries like Nepal. When your savings can be debased overnight, sound money isn't abstract theory. It's survival.

I'm active in the Australian Bitcoin community: attending meetups, speaking at conferences like Bitcoin Alive and Bitcoin Bush Bash, and volunteering with the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body. I'm also a community manager for Vexl (by SatoshiLabs) in the APAC region, helping people trade Bitcoin peer-to-peer.

Family & roots

Family is central. My Nepali heritage grounds me — the values of hospitality, hard work, and community aren't just words, they're how I was raised. Sydney is home now, but I carry Kathmandu with me. The warmth, the chaos, the incredible resilience of a people who live in the shadow of Everest and smile about it.

What drives me

I'm interested in the long game. Building things that compound. Working on problems where technology meets human need. I believe in agency — the idea that individuals can shape their circumstances through skill, persistence, and the right tools. That's why I build. That's why I learn. That's why I'm pursuing a Masters in Data Science while running growth operations full-time.
