# bio
I'm a self-taught frontend engineer from Trashigang. I work at Jaggle.AI. 6+ years of learning and making things; 3+ of those as a professional.
A government scholarship took me to NIT Kurukshetra, India for B.Tech Mechanical Engineering. I left in late 2019 and came home. College had shown me C — I barely understood it. So I started over: small problems in C, then HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React. My first web app was a basic React calculator. I kept shipping small projects until the work felt real.
After almost three years of teaching myself, I joined SELISE Bhutan — Next.js products, and a full revamp of an internal tool for Swiss Migros where I learned Angular for the first time by building with it. In late 2025 I moved to Jaggle.AI for a new challenge.
What I enjoy most: making slow interfaces feel fast — lean React renders, virtualized lists, dense boards that still scroll smoothly on modest devices.
I care about clean code and interfaces that stay out of the way.

# philosophy
- Design and build for the people who will use it — that alone surfaces better feedback than polishing in isolation.
- Prefer composable code: small pieces that combine cleanly beat clever one-offs.
- Use AI, but stay in the driver's seat. If you can't explain the change, the next edit will feel like a black hole.
- Don't skip manual testing because the model "looks right." You'll be surprised what still breaks.
