What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my technical skills while contributing to strategic business goals.

I am a results-driven IT professional with a strong foundation in operations leadership, web development, and infrastructure management. As a former Chief Operating Officer at Axor Technology, I have successfully led full-cycle development using Next.js and Python, managed CI/CD deployments, and aligned cross-functional teams toward business goals. My passion lies in merging business strategy with technology to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth.

Currently, I serve as an IT Manager at Ultra Group Nepal Pvt. Ltd., where I develop and implement IT strategies that align with business goals, driving digital transformation and automation initiatives. I oversee the smooth operation and maintenance of servers, networks, and business-critical software while enforcing cybersecurity measures to safeguard company assets. My experience also includes freelancing as a fullstack developer, where I designed and implemented web applications using Django REST Framework and Next.js, delivering customized solutions that meet client needs.
