client intent and delivered code.

Manish Timalsina — Virinchi College Convocation — Virinchi College Convocation — MBA & BICT Academic Excellence.

I am Manish Timalsina, a Project Manager at NAXA Pvt. Ltd. ↗ with close to two years of experience coordinating software and Geo-ICT delivery for government agencies, international organizations, UN bodies, embassies, and development partners.

I work as the bridge between clients and development teams: translating vague requirements into PRD/SRS documentation and sprint tasks, keeping risks and blockers visible before they damage delivery, and managing cross-cultural stakeholder communication across several concurrent workstreams.

I started out hands-on — development, teaching, field data collection — which keeps my conversations with engineering teams practical. An MBA (2026, CGPA 3.60) built on a Bachelor’s in ICT (CGPA 3.24) rounds out the technical and strategic sides. My work has touched systems used by Nepal Police, the World Food Programme, the British Embassy, UNOPS, ICIMOD, and multiple government ministries.
