Based in Nepal

Building with curiosity.
Living with intention.

I'm Kushal Raj Shrestha — a software architect, photographer, and lifelong learner finding better ways to make things and make a life.

01 / ABOUT

A practical optimist with a camera nearby.

I enjoy the space between ideas and execution — turning complex systems into simple, useful experiences. Outside of software, I'm usually exploring a new place, taking photographs, or learning something that changes how I see the world.

Inspired by Japanese culture, history, and its appreciation for craft, I try to bring patience, clarity, and a growth mindset to everything I do. I'm also a proud father, and that keeps the important things in perspective.
