Turning ideas into independent products and real-world software.
Hi, I'm Abhinav Dhakal. I run Klivo Studios, build and operate my own products, and engineer systems from low-level native code to distributed cloud platforms.
About
I'm an independent builder operating across engineering, product design, and business. I care deeply about craft — building software that is fast, resilient, and actually useful to the people using it.
Through Klivo Studios, I develop in-house software products while partnering with ambitious companies to engineer high-leverage systems. Whether it’s native desktop software, zero-knowledge encryption, or distributed web platforms, I focus on taking things from zero to production.

Building, Learning, and Writing It Down
Why I’m starting this blog, what I plan to share, and why documenting the work matters as much as shipping it.
