What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to leverage my AI expertise in impactful projects.

I'm an AI Engineer with a strong background in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, holding a B.E. in Computer Engineering from the Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University. My passion lies in developing innovative AI solutions that enhance user experiences and streamline processes. At Palua.AI, I trained a 110M parameter BERT model for the Nepali language and designed the first benchmark suite for Nepali NLP tasks, significantly advancing the field.

Currently, I am freelancing as an NLP Engineer, where I focus on creating high-performance RAG pipelines and deploying autonomous LLM agents. My work involves integrating advanced AI techniques to automate workflows and improve efficiency. I thrive on challenges and continuously seek to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI, ensuring that my contributions are impactful and aligned with industry standards.
