More Than Just Code.

hello hello

Namaste. I'm Martin. I build things on the internet, break them, negotiate with them at 2am, and act like nothing happened by morning.

This is not a CV. No grades, no "passionate self-starter" nonsense. Just me, the corners of the internet I actually live in, and three secrets hidden where you least expect them.

(three. counted by hand, like everything else here.)

where this actually happens

kathmandu, and me loitering in it.

Martin in the rain, hood up, throwing a peace sign — it was raining. went out anyway. ✌️

Martin sipping tea at a roadside stall — roadside chiya. permanent stat buff. cafés have been coping ever since.

Martin and his friends toasting on a rooftop overlooking Kathmandu hills — the weekly rooftop summit. agenda: nothing. attendance: mandatory.

one city, zero plans. that's the whole system.

the family unit

shipped with the full cast.

first, the cat. HARU is a calm, polite, extremely well-behaved young lady. menace. she scratched out the lie herself, as you just saw.

HARU the cat wearing a shiny birthday hat, deeply unimpressed — HARU. head of security. wears my birthday hat better than me.

Martin at graduation with his mom, who is blinking — graduation day. mom blinked. we're framing it anyway.

Young Martin in a flat cap looking unimpressed, next to his little sister in a pink hoodie giving side-eye — flat cap, zero patience, sidekick shipped separately. (yes, same side-eye little sister.)

Martin and his big sister raising a toast at a night event — big sister. we toast to surviving each other. annually.

Martin's little sister striking a pose with two soda cans as props — little sister. the cans are props. she does NOT drink. the pose is genetic. (the arm is mine, I got cropped for legal reasons.)

Martin as a baby held by his saili maiju as a young woman, with another young cousin seated beside them on a blue sofa — saili maiju. on the job since before I could hold my own head up. still is.

the cat is first because she'd have made a scene otherwise.

no photo on file

dad. zero confirmed photos. too busy running the empire: chemicals, drinking water, and probably the plastic bag in your kitchen. bigfoot has better paparazzi coverage.

tap to unblur 👀

the girlfriend file. above your clearance level.

one is genuinely camera-shy. one is classified. I'll let you guess which.

cryptid update

Martin's father placing a traditional topi on Martin's head during Tihar, both wearing marigold garlands — the topi ceremony. he put it on himself.

correction filed

one (1) confirmed sighting.

turns out bigfoot slipped up. dad, caught in the wild: crowning me with the topi, both of us buried in marigolds, whole of Kathmandu behind us.

the empire runs itself for exactly one afternoon a year. this was the afternoon.

evidence log: case closed. 👣

the rollback, in progress

protein up. sugar gone. allegedly.

A fruit salad next to a laptop playing anime at a rooftop café — the diet era. the salad is new. eating it in front of anime is not.

Martin flexing in a mirror selfie while an unidentified hand throws a peace sign in the foreground — flexing in the mirror. that second hand in frame is not mine. I have questions too.

no before photo.
no after photo.
just a during, indefinitely. 📍

real id. definitely legal. tug it.

rapid fire, no context

reply speed instant, or 3 business days. no in-between 📬

if it's been a week: I saw it, panicked, and put the phone face down.

browser tabs 47 open. all essential. 🌐

nine are the same stack overflow question. I keep hoping for a better answer.

currently building project #2. it's a secret 🤫

a secret because it's 40% finished and I'd like to keep my options open.

sleep schedule negotiable with the sun 🌙

the sun and I have not spoken in some time.

gpa not on this website 😌

nor on any future website. thank you for your interest.

year, per hamro patro 2083. I live in the future 🇳🇵

57 years ahead of you and still late to everything.

wallet status eSewa says: insufficient balance 💸

the balance is a suggestion. the momos were not.

personal chef the foodmandu rider. my brother in arms 🛵

he knows the gate code. several of my relatives do not.

childhood superpower homework by candlelight, load-shedding era 🔦

builds character, they said. it built astigmatism.

keyboard volume louder than necessary ⌨️

it isn't even mechanical. that's the tragedy. it's just how I type.

chiya or coffee chiya. coffee's just a diet plan wearing a trench coat ☕

one sugar. two if the day has already gone badly. so, two.

punctuality runs on Nepali Standard Time. UTC+5:45, and also a mood 🕰️

the 45 minutes are official. the rest is entirely on me.

proudest achievement survived four dashain lunches in one day, no visible regret 🍛

aunt number three still thinks I didn't eat. she is wrong and she is unmovable.

this website handmade. zero frameworks. 🛠️

every misaligned pixel is a personal decision I stand behind.

flick it, it keeps going. turn one over, there's more on the back →

the soundtrack

on repeat. on principle.

TRACK 00 · NOT RANKED. ABOVE RANKING. सयौं थुँगा फूलका plays right here on my website, as it should 🇳🇵

ok, that's me

k chaa?

that's "what's up" for the non-nepali crowd. this is not a CV, so here's what's actually happening right now, no "allegedly" about it:

dispatch from kathmandu live

local time--:--

skythe sky refuses to comment.

statuscalibrating.

HARUcalibrating.

signal ends here. HARU has muted further notifications.

the secrets, officially

none stamped yet. they're all still up there.

p.s. you just scrolled through a stranger's entire life and stayed till the end. that's rare. respect.

whatever you're carrying today, set it down for a minute. drink some water. text the person you just thought of. saachi, they thought of you first. they're just slower at this.

and if nobody has said it yet today: the internet is better with you in it. glad you exist.

, martin (HARU agrees, off the record)

sealed. scroll back up if you want it open again — it's your letter now.
