Grisma Bhandari
Public Service • Civic Technologist • Self-Taught Builder
I work in Nepal's public service and build open civic technologies as a self-directed craftsman. While my formal university education is in Business (BBS and MBS in Accounting and Economics), technology and software architecture have been my enduring passion. I focus on high-performance calculation engines, responsive civic databases, and useful digital public goods.
Engineering Principles
Deterministic Chronometry & Math
Whether computing progressive income taxes or calculating Bikram Sambat lunar Tithi via astronomical ephemeris, results are mathematically exact, reproducible, and verifiable without server drift.
Edge Compute & Zero Hydration
Built on Astro MPA and Cloudflare Workers V8 isolates. Zero unnecessary client-side React hydration, zero bundle bloat, zero cold-start delay, and instant global edge delivery.
Radical Client-Side Privacy
Tools like the JSON Dev Suite, Optical Barcode Scanner, CalculaTax, and Image Engine process all data inside local browser memory. Zero user telemetry, no tracking cookies, and zero third-party surveillance.
Accessible Public Utilities
Public utilities load instantly even on 2G/3G mobile networks across remote districts in Nepal, utilizing lightweight semantic HTML, vector SVG icons, and aggressive edge caching.
