I've been writing and publishing technology news for seven years now. Started out as a hobby in school, digital publishing now covers more than half of my time in the daylight, with having worked with several online publications in the past, accompanied by a bit of PR and Digital Marketing in general.Surprisingly enough, being a technology journalist also paved my way to engineering, which includes working on 'hobby projects' to leverage the power of 21st century's hardware and software, and to make the world a better place through technology and arts.Besides publishing & engineering, I work as the founding Ambassador for Developer Circles from Facebook in Kathmandu, Nepal. I help developers collaborate, grow and learn new technologies from the future.Arts & Technology.
