Saugat Dhungana

I’m a results-driven AI Engineer with commercial experience designing, optimizing, and deploying production-grade AI systems and backend architectures. I’ve built enterprise-grade RAG pipelines, fine-tuned open-source LLMs/speech models, and developed robust RESTful APIs with Django and FastAPI, bridging ML models with full-stack integration.

Most recently, as an AI Engineering Trainee, I co-engineered a production-grade conversational AI (AIPalika Agent) to support citizens and local government teams. I designed and deployed complex RAG pipelines, implemented vector databases for semantic search, fine-tuned PyTorch models for Nepali-to-English translation and ASR, and delivered reliable, context-aware, factually verified outputs through efficient backend endpoints.
