About Me

A passionate learner at the crossroads of technology and human-centered design.

My Journey

Anup Paudel

Hello! I'm Anup Paudel, a Computer Science student at Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) Essex, currently in my second semester after transferring in Fall 2025. Originally from Nepal, I came to the United States to pursue my computer science degree and have been passionate about exploring the intersection of technology, design, and human experience.

I started my journey at Webster University in Saint Louis, Missouri, where I completed two semesters focusing on programming fundamentals, operating systems, and problem-solving. I was honored to be on the Dean's List in Fall 2024. My academic path has been driven by curiosity—from competitive programming (BYTE_B@SH competition) to exploring various domains including AI, data science, and web development.

My passion extends beyond traditional coding. I'm equally excited about frontend design, UI/UX design, video editing, and graphic design. This multidisciplinary approach helps me create solutions that are not only functional but also visually compelling and user-centered. I'm currently deepening my knowledge in data analytics and Python, with aspirations to specialize in data science. I leverage AI tools daily—Gemini, NotebookLM for learning, and ChatGPT for problem-solving—to accelerate my growth and explore innovative approaches.

My Design Philosophy

I believe in creating solutions that are both functional and beautiful. My approach combines technical expertise with creative thinking, ensuring every project is thoughtfully designed for the end user. I strive for minimalism that doesn't compromise personality—clean interfaces with modern aesthetics that feel intuitive and engaging. Whether it's coding, designing, or editing, I approach every challenge with curiosity and attention to detail, always seeking to learn something new and push the boundaries of what's possible.

Beyond the Screen

When I'm not immersed in design or development, I'm living life to the fullest. You'll find me on the cricket field or football pitch, immersed in a strategic game of chess, or exploring new places—whether it's discovering new cities or gaming in Minecraft. These activities keep me balanced and creative, sharpening my strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities.
