Pokhara, Nepal · Apify Ambassador 🇳🇵
I'm a software engineer specializing in web scraping, browser automation, and data engineering. Started with a curiosity about how data flows across the web; now I architect systems that process 50 million records daily past anti-bot systems. When a project needs the whole thing, I build the full stack around the data too.
I use AI tools to ship faster and build AI-powered features into client products. I also lead engineering teams, mentoring developers to build production-grade infrastructure that scales.

How I work with AI
"2–3× faster" isn't a slogan — it's a workflow. Here's exactly what AI does in my process, and what it never touches.
Claude Code with a custom agent system I've built up over years: specialized subagents for investigation, building, and review, plus my own tooling like RTK, which cuts 60–90% of wasted tokens so agent sessions run longer and cheaper.
Every project runs spec-first: I write the design, agents draft implementation against it, and nothing merges until it passes my review and the project's checks. AI does the typing; the engineering decisions are mine.
Architecture, code review, security decisions, and every conversation with you. AI never talks to my clients and never ships unreviewed code. You get senior-engineer judgment at AI-assisted speed — not autopilot.
Work that used to take me a week solo — a production scraper, an API integration, a data pipeline — now ships in days: agents handle boilerplate and first drafts while I focus on the parts that need judgment. Same quality bar, roughly a third of the calendar time.
