I wrote my very first lines of code when I was 13, in QBASIC, in a tiny computer lab back in Nepal. The computers were old enough to belong in a museum, but they worked. And honestly, that was enough to spark something in me.
In 2016, at 19, I moved to the US and started chasing this whole computer science path. It wasn't always easy, and I was figuring things out as I went, but looking back, I'm really grateful for how far it has taken me.
These days, I'm especially interested in the space where language and machines meet — NLP, LLMs, and how we can make AI genuinely useful in the real world. That's the kind of work that keeps me curious.
