03 / Behind the workJhapa, Nepal

A builder.
A film lover.

I’m Manish Khatiwada. I studied Computer Applications at Tribhuvan University and work as an IT technician in Birtamode. Alongside that, I build web applications and explore cloud tools like Docker and AWS.

Working in support keeps me close to the problems people actually encounter: software that gets in the way, unreliable equipment, and systems that need a little care. That experience shapes the way I write software.

Cinema is my other constant. Kubrick’s compositions, Wong Kar-wai’s atmosphere, and a lifelong fondness for Spider-Man all find their way into how I see things.
