Yam Chhetri is the founder and CEO of Web Experts Nepal, a startup founded in 2012. Today, he is also deeply involved in many other technology companies including Acclaim Technology, CodePixelz Media.

Yam’s journey in the technology sector is a unique one. Born in Parbat, Yam has been working ever since he completed 10th grade. After jobs in Hetauda and India, he came back to Nepal in 2003, with the intention of migrating to the Middle East to create a better life. However, through people he knew, he ended up joining Digital Max Solutions, a technology startup, where he was involved in the management side of the company. He made use of any opportunity that came his way, and learnt from other employees the nitty gritty of how to handle client relationships and manage projects.

Starting with little formal education, and no technology background, Yam’s story is a proof that there are opportunities for people who are willing to work hard, learn and go beyond the job description. In the WordCamp Nepal 2015, his contribution as a co-organizer along with taking lead in Volunteer and Event management is remarkable. He will also be participating in the panel discussion on Career in WordPress. As part of the panel, Yam hopes to share his experiences and his journey so far.
