AI engineer in Kathmandu, Nepal. I build retrieval (RAG) and agent systems, and I measure how well they work. Open to remote roles.
- AI and Automation Intern at K&A Power: a document search service over about 50,000 company files, a daily tender tracker for ADB, World Bank and AIIB notices, and invoice matching for 1000+ documents a month.
- Open source: fixing bugs in Python and AI projects, currently focused on LiteLLM and PyTorch Lightning.
| Project | What it is | Proof |
|---|---|---|
| Production RAG (private, code on request) | Document search and QA: hybrid dense and BM25 search in Qdrant, LLM reranking, per document access control, cited answers | nDCG@10 0.795 on the public BEIR SciFact benchmark (dense only: 0.646, BM25: 0.667) |
| Fixgate (private, code on request) | Agent that reproduces a GitHub issue in a sandbox, writes and checks a fix, and opens a PR only after a person approves the exact patch | Resolved 22 of 31 SWE-bench Verified issues (71%, partial run) at about $0.02 each |
| vault2okf | Converts Obsidian vaults into Open Knowledge Format bundles for AI agents, then validates and repairs them | Published on PyPI, with a GitHub Action and pre-commit hook |
| RAG Gateway | Local server that speaks the OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini APIs, for building and testing RAG apps | Used to run the Production RAG benchmark through local OpenAI compatible endpoints |
