I am a Machine Learning Engineer at Fusemachines in Kathmandu, Nepal, working on document intelligence systems and multimodal LLM-powered agents. My research interests are Multimodal LLMs and AI Agents, and Trustworthy, Privacy-Preserving, and Secure AI Systems.

Currently, I build production AI systems, including document intelligence pipelines for financial workflows handling thousands of documents daily, and research on a multi-modal LLM-powered interview agent (Qwen2-Audio with LoRA fine-tuning and Direct Preference Optimization) to assist hiring managers throughout the recruitment process.

I hold a B.E. in Computer Engineering from Tribhuvan University, Institute of Engineering, Western Region Campus (2019–2024), where I was awarded a full undergraduate scholarship for ranking in the top 3% of the IOE entrance examination. I also completed the year-long Fusemachines AI Fellowship (2023) microdegree in Artificial Intelligence, and I now serve as a Teaching Assistant in the fellowship.
