Hi, I'm Abishek.
I build things for the web — mostly backend, sometimes the whole stack. Based in Chitwan, Nepal. I like making products that actually work, not just ones that look good in a pitch deck.
→ currently: NestJS, PostgreSQL, writing more than before
About Me
You probably know me online as virtualabishek. I got into coding because I genuinely liked making things work and that feeling still drives me. I'm drawn to backend systems, clean architecture, and the kind of trade-offs that actually make or break a product.
How I Learn
I learn by building — usually broken things first. I dig into problems until I actually understand them, not just fix them. If something doesn't click from reading about it, I start using it and figure out what I'm missing along the way.
