About

Computer Engineering graduate (Kathmandu University + IIT Palakkad exchange) working in AI/ML, NLP, and Computer Vision. First-authored a paper at ACM ICAIL 2026 and published in two peer-reviewed journals, with three more works ongoing. On the industry side, I have built real-time CV inference pipelines on NVIDIA DeepStream, set up MLOps infrastructure at KyraWorks, and contributed to Nepal's national pension platform serving 300k+ users. I co-founded two AI startups — Nurvexa (nursing exam prep) and PrepGraduate (GRE prep) — both built around real gaps I saw firsthand in Nepal's education system. I learn best by building things from scratch and figuring out why they break.

I build from the ground up — research is only meaningful when it solves something real
