Ship the useful thing
A working answer beats an elegant intention. I would rather put something honest in front of a real user than perfect a theory in private.
About / Deepsu Gautam
The long
version.
A legal name, a developer name, a tea shop, a company, and a stubborn habit of learning by doing. The short labels never carry the whole story.

Built in public.
Learned in motion.
I was born in 2005. I got into technology in 2019, when the pandemic closed the world and the internet stayed open. I did not begin with a grand plan. I began with a question: how does this actually work?
The answer came through building. I learned JavaScript, then the web, then the systems underneath it. I made small projects, broke them, fixed them, and slowly turned curiosity into competence. The first paid project in 2023 was not a milestone because of the money. It was proof that something I made could carry real weight for someone else.
That same year, I opened a tea shop called Suruppa Chiya. It was a different education entirely. I learned how a kitchen works under pressure, how a queue behaves, how a small business makes decisions with incomplete information, and how much trust sits inside a simple transaction. Those lessons are still in my product instincts.
I spent almost a year inside a company in 2023 and 2024, close to how teams ship and how decisions become software. I left with more respect for process and less patience for theatre. Then came freelance work, personal projects, and the slow accumulation of range.
In 2025, I went deep into artificial intelligence, wrote my first research-style report, and founded Navo Cloud Solutions. In 2026, I wrote a proper research paper. In September of that year, a close friend joined the company. The solo chapter ended. The build got bigger.
I am not interested in being the person who talks about technology. I am interested in being the person who can still make it work when the room gets quiet.

02How I work
Four rules.
No exception.
These are not values on a wall. They are the questions I use when the work gets ambiguous, which is most of the time.
Simplicity is expensive
Anyone can add. The work is deciding what to remove — from a product, a process, a sentence, a system. Clarity is the expensive part.
Own the outcome
The job does not end at deployment. If the business does not get value, the software is not finished. Accountability is part of the craft.
Stay close to the work
I am a founder who still builds. The distance between the person making the decision and the person writing the code should stay short.
03Two names
Tika Datta.
Deepsu.
My legal name is Tika Datta Gautam. My developer name, and the name most people know me by, is Deepsu Gautam.
Both names point to the same person. Tika Datta is the name on the paperwork. Deepsu is the name on the commits, the products, the company, and the work I put into the world. I keep both visible because the story is not a rebrand. It is simply two parts of one identity.
If you found this site by searching either name, you are in the right place. The same founder, the same company, the same work.

04The company
The work became
a company.
Navo Cloud Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a software company in Kathmandu, Nepal. We build websites, custom software, SaaS platforms, mobile applications, and AI systems. I am the founder and CEO.
The company is still young, and that is part of the point. We are building the standard before we build the scale: direct communication, careful engineering, and a refusal to sell work we do not believe in.
