Hey there
I'm Rajkumar Neupane — a network engineer who got here the hard way: a year of chip-level repair in Kathmandu, soldering iron in hand, before a single router ever crossed my desk.
I learned tech at the board level — a year of soldering components, reading schematics, and bringing dead circuits back to life in Kathmandu. A detour through healthcare logistics taught me why any of it has to matter. Now it's Toronto, a networking diploma, and a home lab that never sleeps.
CCNA and CCST in hand, and a home lab in Toronto, Canada that runs Proxmox, EVE-NG, and Cisco CML — 300+ labs deep and still breaking things on purpose.
