A Computer Science graduate who loves building software that's reliable and worth caring about, inspired by the Software You Can Love philosophy. I like trying out new ideas, solving hard problems, and working on the low-level parts of systems, always keeping an eye on speed and how it feels to use. As a full-stack developer, I enjoy looking after an app through its whole life, from the first line of code to keeping it healthy over time, and I build at high velocity using AI-assisted workflows. Outside of work, you'll find me exploring graphics and systems programming, learning new technologies, watching documentaries, and playing video games.

Hi, I'm Diwas, a designer from Nepal and a computer engineer, which is another way of saying I care about both how it looks and how it's built. I work on UI/UX and design systems, turning "it should look better" into actual interfaces. Off the clock: gym, short films, philosophy, history, and a suspicious eye on where AI and robotics are headed.
