Diwas Pandit in Times Square, New York — ● Self-portrait · Times Square, NYC

Hello, I’m Diwas.

I’m a software engineer and photographer from Nepal, now in Austin, Texas — CS at Texas State, class of ’28. My days involve a lot of brackets, semicolons, and the occasional production incident. Photography is the opposite of all of that — analog instinct, no undo button, and a world that refuses to refactor itself for you.

This summer I’m interning at Kioxia America, where an inventory platform I built last year runs in production. Before that: ML research and a co-authored ACM journal paper with 200+ citations, three hackathon wins, and the Tech DD Twins channel with my twin. I still shoot to remember — mostly people, mountains, and the in-between hours.
