About

I work between the technical details and the people relying on them.

I'm Subas Kandel, co-founder and COO at Nest Nepal. My role combines hands-on systems work with the operating discipline required to keep services stable as teams and customer needs grow.

My consulting scope also includes physical infrastructure for offices and sites, along with Power BI dashboards that connect CRM and operational data into practical reports.

I care about clear ownership, useful documentation, and systems that remain understandable after implementation.
