01. About Me

I am a Software Engineer with a strong focus on AI/ML and Backend Systems.

Based in Kathmandu, Nepal, I have experience working with Go, Python, and building RAG pipelines. My work involves designing scalable APIs, fine-tuning LLMs for specific domains, and orchestrating complex AI workflows for production environments.

Whether it's optimizing speech-to-text models for low-resource languages or architecting cloud-native solutions, I thrive on solving difficult technical challenges at the intersection of data and engineering.
