The builder

I'm Parlad Neupane, a developer based in Virginia — focused on building AI-powered products that are actually useful.

I like working at the intersection of AI, real-time systems, and clean UI. Most of what I build starts as a problem I personally want solved.

Stack of choice: TypeScript, React, Python, Supabase — and whatever AI model fits the job best.
