I build mathematics and Nepali-language NLP models while teaching university students and evaluating AI systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’ve taught undergraduate and postgraduate mathematics and conducted research at SRM University Sikkim and Sikkim Alpine University.
As a freelance Subject Matter Expert, I’ve contributed to projects at Turing, Handshake AI, and Snorkel, supporting technical content, assessment design, AI model evaluation, and prompt evaluation.
My research includes developing dependency parsers and NLP models for Nepali, using probabilistic and neural-network approaches for text classification and parts-of-speech tagging. I use Python for linguistic data processing, machine learning, and computational analysis.
I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics and have published research on Nepali text tagging and parsing, including work using Bidirectional LSTM, Conditional Random Fields, and HMM.
