Kathmandu, Nepal

There's a version of this story where I got certified, climbed the ladder, and built something for people who already have everything they need.

This isn't that story.

I'm a project & programs leader, client success, and service delivery expert based in Kathmandu, Nepal, with a unique global experience having worked across teams and clients from APAC, EMEA, and North America. I've spent years working inside the gap between how project management is taught and how it's actually lived — the scope creep conversations nobody prepares you for, the stakeholders who disappear at the worst moment, the teams that look aligned in the meeting and fall apart in execution.

I never got project management certifications. For a long time, that felt like a liability. Now I understand it was the founding insight.

The problem with project management education isn't that it's wrong; it's that it's inaccessible. Certification costs thousands of dollars. Training programs serve enterprises. The entire professional PM ecosystem was built for people who already have a seat at the table. Everyone else — the entrepreneur, the freelancer, the NGO worker, the first-time manager, the community organizer running something that matters — gets left to figure it out on their own.

Projects Simplified exists to fix that.

At its core is a free, fully accessible tool built on the different Project Management frameworks that translates project management processes across multiple phases into plain, actionable language. It meets people where they are: the professional PM who needs depth and vocabulary, the entrepreneur who needs the framework translated into business language, and the unconventional project manager — the wedding planner, the NGO coordinator, the parent managing a family relocation — who needs zero jargon and complete clarity.

One tool. Underlying frameworks that cater to your needs. Three completely different front doors.

I'm building this from Kathmandu, in public, without a playbook.

The founding belief that drives everything: you don't need permission to manage projects well. You just need a clear system and someone who built it honestly.

Projects Simplified is that system. And this is that someone.

Building globally, consulting locally on organizational culture and delivery

Right now

Projects Simplified is live and growing. The tool is free and built for everyone — no certification, no prior training, no seat at any table required. I'm building the audience before building the business, sharing the process publicly, and using everything I learn from real users to make it better every week.

Let's connect

If Projects Simplified has been useful to you — or if you know someone it would help — I'd genuinely like to hear about it.

If you're working on organizational culture, delivery accountability, or leadership challenges in a Nepali organization or team, I'm available for consulting conversations. I don't have a deck. I have a framework and real experience.
