I spent my formative years in the remote village of Tangting in West Nepal, which is located approximately a two-and-a-half-hour drive away from the charming tourist hub of Pokhara. Despite my upbringing in a rural setting, I had the privilege of attending English medium schools in both Pokhara and Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal.

During my early schooling, I had limited exposure to computers and technology. It wasn’t until my higher secondary education that I began to delve into the world of technology. My first encounter with a mobile phone occurred during my college years, as prior to that, I possessed only rudimentary knowledge of computers and technology.

I pursued a dual degree in business management, studying both a Bachelor of Business Studies and a Bachelor of Business Accounting and Financial Management. Although my academic focus was on business, I developed a strong passion for technology. I found joy in experimenting with various electronic devices and took the initiative to comprehend their inner mechanisms. As a self-driven learner, I displayed an aptitude for quickly grasping new concepts.

Throughout my college tenure, I seized the opportunity to work part-time as a technician at a digital company. In this capacity, my responsibilities encompassed assembling desktop computers and gaining basic experience in troubleshooting laptops and simple networking. Following the completion of my college studies, I ventured into the realm of IT by assuming the role of an IT technician at an airline company. Here, I contributed to diagnosing and resolving computer issues on both desktops and laptops, and I also engaged in networking setups.

These experiences during this phase of my life solidified my passion for technology and IT. Capitalizing on the abundance of online resources, I embarked on a journey of self-guided learning. I commenced with graphic design using tools ranging from Microsoft Publisher to Photoshop, gradually advancing to sophisticated software like Adobe Illustrator. Furthermore, I explored the domain of web design, mastering HTML, CSS, and even advanced tools such as Python, JavaScript, and WordPress.

Today, I am confident in my ability to produce professional-grade graphic designs and independently create websites. Acknowledging that technology is an ever-evolving field, I remain committed to staying current and embracing new advancements. Armed with my acquired skills and knowledge, I proudly label myself as a junior graphic designer and web developer.
