What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable NLP and recommender systems, where I can deploy production ML, mentor teams, and drive measurable product impact.

I am a data scientist and AI engineer with a First Class BSc (Hons) in Computer Science who designs and deploys production-ready NLP and recommendation systems. I have led projects using RAG, Nepali BERT research, OCR name-matching, HS-code recommendation, and resume parsing, and I publish on NLP and matching algorithms.

I have built chatbots, content-based and itinerary recommenders, and optimized APIs with asynchronous programming and multiprocessing, deploying solutions on Azure Functions. I mentor students and run internal trainings, and I focus on scalable, accurate ML systems that improve user experience and operational efficiency.
