About me.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at IOE Pulchowk Campus, Nepal's top-ranked engineering school, specialising in AI and machine learning, and currently an AI/ML intern at Layman AI shipping production computer-vision systems. What pulls me in is the full pipeline: not just training a model, but taking it from raw data through feature engineering, evaluation, and into something people actually use. That thread runs through everything in my work, from network security research to a published PyPI package.

Off the keyboard, there's a decent chance I'm watching cricket (or shouting at it), out on my bike hunting for a road I haven't ridden yet, or in some corner of Nepal I decided to visit on short notice. There's photographic evidence. Music runs in the background through all of it.

The habit I can't switch off: when a random problem crosses my mind, I have to build some version of the solution. That reflex is responsible for half of my projects, the articles I write on Medium, and the occasional hackathon win.
