PRANISH

CURRENTLY IN NEW YORK CITY FROM NEPAL CS + MATH

I solve problems I need solved by building software.

Pranish Khanal
Born & Raised — Piple, Sankhuwasabha

A village in the Himalayas of Nepal. Tight community, simple life. Here's where I learned what it means to look out for each other and focus on what actually matters.

The Shift — Kathmandu

Faster pace, more ambition, doors I didn't know existed here.

Kept seeing things I didn't know existed and stupidly dived head first into all of them. Bigger risks, more ownership and a lot of firsts. But what shaped me most were the people who mentored me and pushed me in directions I wouldn't have gone on my own.

What's Next

Build, grow, learn. I want to be around people who've been places I haven't, who make the calls that decide which way the world goes.
