About

I'm a second-year Bachelor in Health Informatics (BHI) student at Kathmandu University, based in Dhulikhel (28 Kilo), though I'm originally from Kathmandu. I got into this field because I wanted to work somewhere between healthcare and technology, and health informatics let me do both without picking just one.

So far I've volunteered at an international conference on digital ethics, gone through hands-on training in delay-tolerant networking for remote and environmental monitoring, worked on a chronic disease management system with my department, and pitched an idea at a national innovation competition. I'm currently working on a research paper as well.

Outside of coursework, I'm usually either travelling somewhere, out riding with the TVS riders' group, or singing badly to unwind after a long day.
