About Me
I am a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in NLP and LLM, with expertise in architecting production-grade AI systems including RAG workflows, document processing pipelines, and recommendation engines.
I have proven ability to design, containerize, and scale solutions using cloud native stacks (AWS/Kubernetes/Docker). I am passionate about bridging research and operations, from developing novel NLP models for low-resource languages to implementing MLOps practices for AI product delivery.
I also aim to contribute to AI research by leveraging my expertise in Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and Large Language Models to create impactful solutions for real-world challenges.
Work Experience
Machine Learning Engineer
Root Level AIJanuary 2025 - Present
Kathmandu, Nepal
- Document Processing Architecture: Led pipeline redesign replacing legacy OCR with agent-based document processing system, and improved data extraction accuracy and throughput.
- RAG System Optimization: Deployed agentic RAG workflow with hybrid search (dense+sparse vectors) and cross-encoder reranking, increasing retriever recall by 20% and reducing token costs by 15%.
- ML Infrastructure: Architected and scaled end-to-end ML solutions using FastAPI, LlamaIndex for document retrieval pipelines, and Qdrant for vector operations. Orchestrated Kubernetes clusters (EC2/ECR) with Docker containers, implemented serverless data workflows via Lambda, and managed data lifecycle using S3 for storage, Redis for real-time caching, and CloudWatch for performance monitoring.

Projects
Nepali Grammatical Error Correction
As a part of major project thesis of my bachelor's degree, developed a pipeline utilizing BERT. Curated a large parallel corpus for Nepali Grammar Correction task. Developed a system which takes Nepali text as input, checks its grammar, and suggests corrections if necessary.
Chat with Multiple PDFs
Project implemented using Langchain and Huggingface Transformers for RAG framework. Users upload PDFs and ask questions. The PDF is segmented, converted to vectors, and stored. Questions are converted to embeddings, and a semantic search yields ranked results.
HTML Parser using LLM
Developed an API for extracting e-commerce attributes from HTML content. Uses `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct` from Hugging Face's Inference API. Extracts attributes like name, price, description, and images from HTML.
Travel Recommendation System
Developed a travel recommendation web application that generates personalized itineraries for travelers to Nepal based on their preferences and budget using React, Django, Python, and Flask. Implemented collaborative filtering to enhance recommendations.
ML and DL Repository
Developed and maintained a repository of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, including CNN, Linear and Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and advanced applications like Image Segmentation and Reconstruction.
8 Puzzle Visualizer
Implemented and visualized different algorithms, such as A*, BFS, DFS, IDDFS, and Greedy to solve the 8-puzzle problem using Python and Tkinter.
Bachiyo Game
Mario-like platformer game with various levels and sound effects created using C++ and SFML.
Image Compression
Compressed images using Huffman Tree Algorithm in C++.
Stadium Modeling
Modeled a stadium using Python, Pygame, and Blender.
