Turning data into decisions — from rural Nepal to global AI research.
I grew up in Sarlahi, Nepal, where 16–18 hour power cuts until my SEE (2017) were daily reality. I studied for my exams by candlelight. There were no computer classes, no mentors, and no one who could tell me what coding even was.
When I moved to Kathmandu, I sat in a college lab for the first time at 19, hands trembling, afraid of breaking a machine I could not afford to replace. I earned a merit-based full scholarship for my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering and graduated with a 3.79/4.0 CGPA.
Today I build AI-powered tools that solve real problems — like a mushroom disease classifier that helps Nepali farmers with instant, accurate diagnosis. My goal is to make sure the next generation in underserved communities does not start where I did.
