What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment to apply ML/DL skills on impactful AI products, with opportunities for research, mentorship, and deploying models to production.

I am an AI practitioner focused on machine learning and deep learning, proficient in Python and PyTorch, and experienced in building production-ready models and APIs.

At Fusemachines I enhanced a plagiarism detector using RoBERTa, researched sequence models and time-series DL, and contributed to study materials for an AI fellowship. I also collaborated on a Nepali Visual Commonsense Reasoning project using vision-language models.

My projects include a ResNet18-based maize leaf disease detector deployed via a Django REST API, a LangChain/Pinecone retrieval-augmented chatbot with Streamlit, and a Flask app that scrapes articles and summarizes them with a BART transformer.
