I build and operate the systems that keep software running — and I like to understand them all the way down to the kernel.
Infrastructure
About
I'm a DevOps engineer at Gurzu, where I try keeping the path from a developer's commit to a running production service short, boring, and reliable. Pipelines, infrastructure, observability — the unglamorous plumbing that everything else depends on.
What pulls me in, though, is what sits underneath all of it. I spend my own time reading about the Linux kernel, how an event-driven server like NGINX juggles thousands of connections, and what actually happens between typing a URL and seeing a page. Knowing the layer below the one you work in makes you better at the one you're in.
I write about what I learn, occasionally argue that Nepal's higher education deserves better, and stay curious about the wider stack — I've gone framework-hopping across the whole frontend landscape just to see how they think.
