About Me

Crafting digital experiences with purpose

I'm Niket Thapa — Co-CEO of Kalki Automation Pvt. Ltd. in Kathmandu, and an independent contractor on Upwork since January 2016. My Upwork profile title is Shopify, WordPress & WooCommerce Expert — custom ecommerce solutions that convert.

I spent over eight years as CEO of Matat Web Application, leading enterprise web products and teams. Earlier I was a front-end developer at Rapid web Solutions. Alongside leadership roles, I continue freelance delivery for client companies through Upwork — accessibility, performance, and design systems from storefronts to complex web apps.
