A little about me

A builder first.
Always a student.

I’m studying BSc (Hons) Computing at The British College, affiliated with Leeds Beckett University. I started by teaching myself to code, and I still learn best by making things.

These days, I’m especially interested in efficient LLM inference, local AI systems, and research that turns into working software.

Outside of code, I help coordinate community service projects as Service Project Chair at the Rotaract Club of Kathmandu North, after previously serving as Treasurer.

Hackathon · 2026

Fraud detection for Nepali digital banking.

Built with Team IGOR at the Global IME AI/ML Hackathon. A prototype combining transaction rules, machine learning, and account-graph analysis to decide when to allow, verify, or block a transaction.

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • XGBoost
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
A look at the system

Four specialist agents check velocity, geography, machine-learning signals, and account connections. A synthesis layer combines their findings into a decision, with OTP verification and an audit trail.
