About

Built across fintech, clean energy, and financial data.

I am a product and analytics professional with an engineering degree and a STEM designated MBA from Babson College, where I concentrated in Business Analytics, Machine Learning, and Entrepreneurship. I have worked across Nepal, South Asia, and the United States.

At SRAN, I lead product and build the data pipelines behind a financial research platform for Nepal's equity market. At IME Khalti, I helped launch Khalti Places and led payment integrations for merchants. In Boston, I built a Python prospecting tool at FireFlower and Excel reporting models at Babson.

I am drawn to roles where customer understanding, data, and execution meet: product management, analytics, and consulting.
