About Me

I'm a cybersecurity researcher and software engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal, passionate about understanding how systems work under the hood. My work spans threat intelligence, malware reverse engineering, secure application development, and cryptography.

Currently working at Abrik Technology as a Cybersecurity Research Analyst, I hunt for threats, build security tools, and help organizations strengthen their defenses. When I'm not analyzing malware or writing detection rules, you'll find me contributing to open-source projects or exploring new attack techniques.
