About Me

Manoj Khatiwada

Crafting Digital Solutions with Data-Driven Precision

As a full-stack developer with a strong foundation in business analytics, I bridge the gap between technical innovation and business objectives. My journey combines rigorous academic training in Information Systems and hands-on experience building production-grade applications that serve hundreds of thousands of users.

I thrive in environments where data meets design, creating solutions that are not only technically sound but also strategically aligned with organizational goals. From optimizing payment portals that boost revenue to engineering speech analysis pipelines for call centers, I focus on delivering measurable impact.

What drives me is the challenge of transforming complex requirements into elegant, scalable solutions—whether that's reducing a 20-minute process to 50 seconds or visualizing agricultural data to uncover meaningful trends.
