Welcome to my personal website! I'm Krishna Dulal, a rising developer passionate about creating digital solutions through coding, exploring new ideas through reading, and broadening my horizons through travel. With a strong foundation in software engineering and hands-on experience in web development, I strive to make a meaningful impact through technology.

My Education Journey

I'm Krishna Dulal, pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a focus on Software Engineering at the University of Virginia (UVA). My educational journey began in Nepal, where I completed high school and spent a year inspiring young minds as a math teacher.


After moving to the United States, I built a solid foundation in technology and programming at Northern Virginia Community College. At UVA, I have honed my skills in software development, including creating applications using Django, Flask, and Java, and developing proficiency in SQL for database management. In Fall 2024, I will be advancing my studies with an online Master of Science in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Professional Experience

Outside of academics, I've excelled in various roles. I served as a Lead Sales Associate at Virginia ABC where I demonstrated exceptional leadership and multitasking abilities. Additionally, I completed a web development internship at DIDI Professional LLC, working on projects that supported corporate strategies. During this internship, I enhanced my web development skills, including building a personal portfolio website like this one. Furthermore, as an Associate Administrator Intern at Blue Ridge ESOP Associates, I gained valuable experience in ESOP and 401(k) recordkeeping and administration, developed communication skills, and managed data using Microsoft Office Suite and other software systems.


As I continue my journey of learning and exploration, I eagerly anticipate the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead. Each experience shapes a future that combines my diverse interests and ambitions into a meaningful and impactful journey. I'm excited to see where this path leads me.
