A little about me

Detail-driven, people-first, quietly relentless.

I've spent over a decade making the web work better — testing it, optimizing it, and helping people find what they're looking for.

The story

From quality assurance to search strategy.

My career began where precision matters most — quality assurance. For ten years at Catch Themes, I was the person who made sure WordPress themes worked perfectly before they reached the world: testing across devices and browsers, catching bugs, and smoothing every rough edge. I came to love solving problems and delivering products that were reliable, secure, and performed beautifully.

That same eye for detail led me naturally into search engine optimization. Today I help brands grow their online presence and visibility — through technical SEO, content optimization, and digital marketing that's grounded in how real people search and decide.

Alongside client work, I've been an active part of the global WordPress community since 2014 — reviewing themes, translating WordPress into Nepali, speaking, and helping organize WordCamps. It keeps me close to the platform millions of businesses rely on, and to the people who build with it.

How I work

Values that show up in the work.

The principles behind every audit, every site I touch, and every client relationship.

Precision

A decade of QA taught me that the small details — the ones nobody notices when they're right — are what build trust.

Clarity

I translate technical SEO and WordPress complexity into plain language and decisions you can actually act on.

Reliability

Whether it's a theme review or a client deadline, I do what I say — consistently, and with care for the outcome.

Curiosity

Search and the web never stop changing. I keep learning — through a master's in Computer Science and the community.

Community

I give back to the platform that shaped me — organizing, translating, and mentoring within WordPress in Nepal and beyond.

Impact

Visibility isn't vanity. I focus on the work that moves real numbers — traffic, trust, and the people they represent.

Areas of expertise

Where I add the most value.

A blend of technical depth and communication — shaped across product, agency, and healthcare contexts on three different markets.

In a sentence

"I believe good websites are quiet, dependable, and easy to find — and that getting there is mostly about care, not tricks."
