People led, events organized
Nepal's IT talent is
underestimated.
Five years inside the student tech community taught me something the headlines miss: the capability is already here. What's missing is infrastructure, organized pathways, real mentorship and leaders who stick around long enough to build systems instead of just events.
Nepal doesn't need to import models from elsewhere. It needs people who understand local context well enough to build institutions that compound over time. That's what I've been working toward.
Community organizing is how I understand what's happening on the ground. It's why good systems matter to real people.
