Building the infrastructure that powers tomorrow.

I'm Sahil Dahal — a software engineer from Nepal. Self-taught since 2021, shipping to production since 2024.
I work across the full stack: the interface people see, the server behind it, and the systems keeping it running. When a problem demands depth, I go deep.
I don't build demos. I build software that runs — a package with 4,200+ installs, a platform people use daily, a deepfake detector that hits 95% accuracy.
Expansion
It wasn't planned.
It accreted.

YearProject
2024
Full-stack cinema booking platform with interactive seat maps, eSewa payment integration, and QR-coded tickets. Prisma transactions ensure concurrent double-booking is structurally impossible.
2025
A programming language with Nepali-keyword syntax, built from scratch. Complete pipeline: custom lexer, recursive-descent parser, and tree-walking evaluator. Published as a global npm package.
2025
eSewa Python SDKlive
Open-source Python package for integrating Nepal's primary payment gateway into any application. Framework-agnostic, published to PyPI — 4,200+ total downloads, 350+ monthly installs.
2025–26
Deviolive
Full-scale developer learning platform. Isolated multi-language code execution, GPU-accelerated video transcoding via BullMQ, on-demand CTF lab orchestration, real-time collaboration, and gamification — deployed on a self-managed VPS across 11 sprints. 78% of surveyed users said they'd use it.
2026
Multimodal deepfake detection — spatial CNN (EfficientNet-B2) and frequency-domain CNN (FFT + ResNet-18) fused through a custom Cross-Attention architecture with residual connections and Layer Norm. 95% accuracy, 0.99 AUC on FaceForensics++.
2026
Cross-platform journaling application built with .NET MAUI and Blazor Hybrid. Runs natively on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android — with mood tracking, tagging, and analytics.
Client
Designed and built the complete website for Truth Advisor Education Foundation. Live and in production.
