Data Analyst · Data Engineer

I build pipelines, models and dashboards that turn messy data into clear decisions. Based in Melbourne — currently studying a Master of Data Science at MIT while open to new opportunities.

Experience & Impact

Data-Driven Thinking.
Human-Centred Approach.

I didn't start in data. I started in curiosity — pulling apart systems, asking why things work the way they do. From my Computer Science degree at Tribhuvan University in Nepal to engineering data systems in Melbourne, every step has sharpened how I think about information.

My experience spans backend development, database administration, and data engineering across Cedargate Technologies, HawkAI, CloudFactory, and Deerhold — giving me a full-stack understanding of how data moves and where it breaks.

Today, while completing my Master of Data Science at Melbourne Institute of Technology, I'm deepening my focus on machine learning, analytics engineering, and building data systems people actually rely on.
