01Work

Selected work

Four systems that shipped, with the problem, what I built, and where each ended up.

Road Sense

Real-time road accident detection & alert system

Problem

In Nepal, delayed emergency response to road accidents significantly increases casualties. No automated, affordable detection system existed for rural roads.

My role

Built the full detection pipeline: frame ingestion, YOLO-based accident classification, and the real-time alert dispatch system.

Outcome

2nd Runner-up at Codefest National hackathon

Python · OpenCV · YOLO · TensorFlow · IoT · Raspberry Pi

AI Talent Intelligence Platform

Multi-agent candidate screening & recruiter copilot

Problem

Recruiters spend hours manually screening CVs. Candidates lack specific, actionable feedback on skill gaps for a given role.

My role

Designed and built the multi-agent orchestration layer, the RAG pipeline for semantic resume parsing using Qdrant vector search, the skill gap radar chart module, and the interview simulation agent.

Outcome

End-to-end semantic parsing with dynamic interview generation

Python · FastAPI · Next.js · Qdrant · LangChain · OpenAI · RAG · Docker

Nigrani

Elephant detection system that protects village communities

Problem

Human-wildlife conflict in Nepal's border communities costs lives and livelihoods. Existing solutions (rangers, fences) are expensive and slow to respond.

My role

Built the detection model (YOLO trained on custom dataset), deployed inference to Raspberry Pi edge nodes, and implemented the SMS/siren alert pipeline.

Outcome

1st Runner-up at BPC Hackfest National — deployed concept validated

Python · YOLO · OpenCV · Raspberry Pi · IoT · TensorFlow Lite · SMS API

WhatsApp Automation

LLM-powered business automation via WhatsApp

Problem

Small businesses in Nepal lack affordable 24/7 customer support. WhatsApp is the dominant communication channel, but no smart automation existed for it.

My role

Built the LangChain agent pipeline, integrated Supabase pgvector for RAG-based knowledge search, implemented dynamic prompt management, and wired the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API webhook flow.

Outcome

Live deployment handling real customer traffic

LangChain · Supabase · pgvector · Next.js · Python · Meta Cloud API · Gemini · OpenAI

Technical Skills

Nothing here is a bar chart pretending to be data. Skills sit in the domain they belong to, and an edge means I have actually used the two together in a shipped project.

05About

How I work

Background

I'm a machine learning engineer based in Jhapa, Nepal, with hands-on experience across computer vision, deep learning, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent systems. My work spans real-world deployments — from CCTV-based elephant alert systems along village edges, to LLM-powered WhatsApp automation handling live customer traffic. I'm drawn to problems where the gap between a research idea and a working system is still wide, and I want to be the engineer who closes it. I hold a Quantum Computing diploma from QNepal (2023), participated in MIT QHack, and work with Qiskit — the theme of this site is earned, not decorative.
