keeps systems up.

System & Network Engineer based in Kathmandu. I build and support the layer most people never see — Linux and Windows servers, firewalls and VPN edges, virtualised hosts, monitoring and the pipelines that ship to them.

01 — About

I work where the uptime is decided.

I'm a System and Network Engineer with hands-on experience running IT infrastructure and cloud environments for real customers. Most of my work has been the unglamorous, high-consequence kind: provisioning servers, hardening the edge, untangling DNS, and getting things back online when they aren't.

At Cloud Himalaya I built and maintained Linux and Windows VPS estates, web hosting on Nginx and Apache, three flavours of VPN, and Zabbix monitoring across it all. At Clusus I now install and support enterprise IT solutions inside customer environments — which means debugging across databases, applications, networks and systems, often with someone waiting on the other end of the call.

Someone who reads logs before guessing, documents the fix,
and would rather automate the alert than answer it twice.

I care about the boring virtues — clean configuration, sane monitoring, reproducible builds, and change you can roll back. I'm currently deepening my container and CI/CD work with Docker, Kubernetes and Tomcat.

02 — The stack

A stack I've actually built and kept alive.

This is the shape of the infrastructure I work on day to day, from the public edge down to storage. Click any box — or use the arrow keys — to see what I do at that layer.
