About

With over 4 years of experience in AI engineering, I specialize in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, and deploying innovative AI-driven solutions. I have expertise in developing and optimizing LLM-based systems, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), to enhance NLP tasks. My skill set includes cloud infrastructure management (AWS, GCP, Azure), building scalable and fault-tolerant environments, and automating robust data pipelines using big data technologies like Hadoop, Spark, and Hive.

I am experienced in diverse machine learning applications, from recommendation systems to real-time object detection models, and have a strong focus on NLP solutions, such as sentiment analysis, document summarization, and multilingual chatbots. Proficient in deploying CI/CD pipelines with Terraform and GitHub Actions, I also excel in data visualization using Tableau and Power BI to drive data-informed decision-making. Passionate about research, I have contributed to advancements in underrepresented languages through projects like NepaliBERT.

With a collaborative mindset and commitment to continuous learning, I deliver impactful AI solutions that align with business goals while mentoring teams to enhance technical capabilities.
