Clean architecture
Code that a stranger can understand six months later: clear naming, separation of concerns, and no hidden magic.
About / The person behind the code
Curious enough to begin. Stubborn enough to finish.
I’m Hawana Tamang, a programmer from Bhaktapur. My days sit between Spring Boot backends, custom WordPress engineering, technical writing, and the next thing I have not understood yet.

01 / My story
It started with sockets, threads, and a lot of confusion.
A two-way C++ chat application taught me more about how computers communicate than a textbook could. From there came Java, a Whack-A-Mole game, and a growing obsession with how backend systems are structured.
After shipping WordPress projects for international clients at WPDrops, I built AniMatch end-to-end with Spring Boot and PostgreSQL. Now I’m going deeper into backend engineering while staying sharp on the WordPress side.

02 / What I value
Standards that survive changing tools.
Frameworks change. The principles underneath dependable work are slower to expire.
Performance matters
A slow API or a four-second page load is not a minor detail. It is part of the product experience.
Writing to learn
Explaining an idea exposes gaps quickly. Writing is part of the engineering process, not decoration.
Always shipping
Deployed and improving beats perfect and invisible. Real feedback creates better work than endless polishing.
03 / Timeline
The path so far.
Not linear. Definitely useful.

05 / Outside of code
A wider life makes better work.
Technical writing
I write about backend concepts, APIs, databases, auth patterns, WordPress, and the things I am trying to understand properly.
Exploring Bhaktapur
Living in one of Nepal’s most historic cities means there is always a useful walk after a stubborn debugging session.
Building for fun
Side projects without clients or deadlines are where the Whack-A-Mole game, chat application, and AniMatch began.
The next build
Want to work together?
I’m open to backend roles, WordPress projects, freelance work, and serious conversations about useful software.
