Computer Science Student • IT Consultant
I build practical software that solves real problems.
I’m Siddhartha Sitaula, a Computer Science student at the University of New Mexico with a solid background in Java, data structures, and solving problems with algorithms. I build interactive apps and games from the ground up, and I bring hands-on IT support experience — troubleshooting hardware, software, and classroom systems — to everything I do.

About me
Curious mind. Reliable teammate. Constant learner.
I am studying Computer Science at the University of New Mexico and working as a Student Consultant with UNM IT Academic Technologies. My experience combines software development, technical troubleshooting, customer support, and teamwork.
I like turning complex ideas into simple, useful programs. My projects have helped me practice object-oriented programming, data structures, recursion, algorithms, GUI development, and debugging.
My path started in Simara, Nepal, where I led IT support for a student organization — keeping event tech running, repairing systems, and helping people through technical problems. After building my foundation in mathematics and computer science at Prasadi Academy in Kathmandu, I moved to the United States in 2024 to study CS at UNM, where I've maintained a 3.70 GPA while working and building projects.
