About me

Background

Computer Engineer turned Data Scientist. I build production ML systems that people actually use.

I graduated with a 3.88 CGPA from Kathmandu University and have since worked across production ML systems, mobile applications, and full-stack platforms in Nepal and the United States. My research in Nepal Lipi OCR was published at LREC-COLING 2024, which reflects how seriously I approach documented, rigorous work.

At LIS Nepal I shipped optimizations that reduced LLM inference time by 40% and cut API token costs by 35%. I now work at Ennovar, WSU's industry-facing software center, building backend services for university-industry platforms.

Outside engineering, I care about thoughtful design, clear communication, and building software that people actually want to use. I speak English, Nepali, and Newari natively.
