Open to freelance & collaboration

I build games, apps and interfaces — and draw the art that goes in them.

Independent developer from Nepal working across Unity, Flutter and the web. I ship playable games, privacy-first mobile apps and interfaces I design end to end — original art, audio and code.

About

I’ve been building things end to end since school.

Self-taught, then formally schooled. Most of what I know came from shipping a thing, breaking it, and rebuilding it properly the second time.

I’m a developer and artist from Dang, Nepal. My work sits in the overlap between the two: I write the gameplay code and I also draw the character that walks through it.

That started with pencil sketches and Unity tutorials, and turned into a string of released games and a finance app on the Play Store. Along the way I picked up the web stack — which is what this site is built on.

I care most about work that feels considered: a menu that responds the way you expect, an app that doesn’t quietly harvest your data, a layout that holds together on a cheap phone.

Games that ship

Unity from prototype to store build — physics, level flow, menus, save state and the boring platform work in between.

Apps that respect you

PURE stores everything on-device and collects nothing. Privacy as an architecture decision, not a marketing line.

Art made in-house

Sketch, digital paint, UI and motion. I don't outsource the look of my own work, so the design and code stay in sync.

Web that stays fast

TypeScript, React and Next.js. Static where it can be, dynamic only where it earns its keep.

Selected work

Things I built, start to finish.

Games, apps and tools — the code, the art and the store listing. Screenshots are from the real builds.

PURE

PURE (Pure Understanding of Real Economics) is an offline-first budgeting app built around a hard rule: zero data collection. Transactions, budgets, savings goals and analytics are computed and stored entirely on-device, with optional biometric lock. The only network calls it ever makes are for ad delivery and live currency rates.

The tools I reach for first.

Grouped by what I actually use them for, rather than a wall of logos.

Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think. The most important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
