Software engineer, open source developer, experimentalist and lifelong tinkerer — from soldering circuits in Nepal to building AI systems in Washington, DC.
I taught myself electronics and programming from scratch using free internet resources, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and YouTube. That experience shaped how I think about technology: as something that should be open, learnable, and community-driven. I now channel that belief into my work as a Student Ambassador at GWU's Open Source Program Office and as a contributor to projects that span robotics, AI, infrastructure, and the open web.
- MS in Computer Science — George Washington University, SEAS ( graduating May 2026)
- Student Ambassador — GWU Open Source Program Office (OSPO), advocating for open source culture across campus and beyond
- Actively seeking full-time new grad software engineering roles — especially in infrastructure, systems, and AI-adjacent engineering
Life Insurance RAG Chatbot A domain-focused RAG assistant for life insurance Q&A, built with Next.js, Rust, ChromaDB, and Gemma. View repo |
Cover Letter Generator A TypeScript app that generates tailored cover letters from a resume and job description using the Gemini API. View repo |
Agentic Tutor A learning assistant that summarizes long YouTube videos and generates Q&A using transcripts and Whisper. View repo |
Admin Dashboard A React and Django dashboard that visualizes trends, metrics, and operational insights from your data. View repo |
Also, I am sharpening systems programming skills in memory management, concurrency, virtual memory, and Rust in preparation for infrastructure engineering roles
Open source is where I learned to code — it's only natural that I give back.

- I started learning electronics and programming entirely through free internet resources — no formal training until university
- My GitHub spans robotics, prosthetics, LiDAR, computer vision, web apps, mobile apps, and now AI infrastructure — I follow curiosity wherever it leads
- I believe sleep is more important than grinding for doing your best technical work
- I went from wiring Arduinos in Nepal to contributing to global open source communities and studying at a George Washington university in Washington, DC
I'm always happy to talk about technologies, open source, robotics, or anything in between.
