01.Signal, not noise

I build AI systems that actually ship, handling the unglamorous, load-bearing part of machine learning where models meet Docker containers, message queues, and production traffic.

My strongest work sits at the intersection of ML and software engineering: turning models, image-processing pipelines, APIs, databases, and deployment infrastructure into systems that run reliably at scale. Most recently that means an AI-powered PCB inspection platform: board scanning, component analysis, multi-board comparison, real-time inference.

At Rama Gaming House and TPL Media, I build data and product systems end to end: local news ingestion across 91 sources, social media analytics, grocery price comparison, and subscription memberships.

I also evaluate frontier-model outputs for code generation, reasoning quality, and tool use, which has sharpened my sense for the difference between code that looks correct and code that is actually reliable.

02.Deployment history

Rama Gaming House / TPL Media

2026 - Present
Software Engineer · Mississauga, Canada
  • ▸Built a configurable Scrapy + Playwright ingestion framework running 91 city, police, and public-agency news crawlers, with Gemini-structured articles, deduplicated CMS publishing, and per-run failure reports.
  • ▸Built a social analytics platform (React, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL) that validates exports from six social platforms and models them into SQL reporting views for Looker Studio.
  • ▸Built Tableau executive and operational dashboards on gaming and customer data.
  • ▸Built a grocery unit-price comparison backend that collects flyer prices by city, validates product identity and package size, and compares like-for-like staples across retailers.
  • ▸One of two engineers on tplmedia.ca and its TPL Local vertical (Next.js, Payload CMS): location-based editions, freshness- and source-aware news ranking, cached local news and weather, and Stripe memberships with server-side conversion tracking.
  • ▸Built an AI-assisted guest research tool (Exa, Node.js, Supabase) that only shows profile and contact details backed by a retrieved source citation.

Cybord AI

2025 - Present
Software Engineer · Remote
  • ▸Engineered the microservice backend for a PCB inspection POC (board scanning, component analysis, multi-board comparison) accepted by SpaceX and now in production.
  • ▸Built a production desktop app (Electron + FastAPI) integrating proprietary AI models with real-time inference.
  • ▸Cut pipeline processing time from ~10 minutes to ~1 minute with task-graph parallelization; reduced model inference time by 60%.
  • ▸Fine-tuned computer vision models to 95% production accuracy and automated visual data extraction, saving 200+ engineering hours monthly.
  • ▸Replaced one object-storage file per component image with one bundle per board, serving each image through Nginx HTTP range requests from byte offsets stored in SingleStore.
  • ▸Developed polarity, rotation, body-size, and missing-component comparison logic, plus a CAD-alignment service (FastAPI, Celery, Kafka) that maps CAD data to detected parts.
  • ▸Developed the real-time alert service (WebSockets, Redis pub/sub relay across replicas) and OpenTelemetry tracing with workflow IDs carried in Kafka headers.

DataAnnotation

2024 - Present
AI Training Specialist (Freelance) · Remote
  • ▸Evaluate frontier-model outputs: code generation, debugging, reasoning quality, and instruction following.
  • ▸Identify failure modes in multi-step reasoning, tool-use workflows, and agentic coding tasks.
  • ▸Surface the subtle issues automated benchmarks miss: plausible-but-wrong code and unsafe implementation choices.

Vanilla Transtechnor

2021 - 2022
Software Engineer · Kathmandu, Nepal
  • ▸Built scalable web applications serving 5,000+ daily active users with Django REST Framework and React.
  • ▸Standardized auth across 12+ microservices with custom middleware, permission classes, and mixins.
  • ▸Automated deployment pipelines, cutting deployment time by 40%.

Eightsquare

2019 - 2021
Software Engineer · Kathmandu, Nepal
  • ▸Pioneered a mobile SDK for Malaysian identity-document OCR (IDs, passports, visas), 80% faster through OpenCV optimization in C++/JNI.
  • ▸Shipped face recognition + liveness detection SDK with 97% accuracy and 10,000+ daily authentication requests.
  • ▸Architected a multi-tenant push-notification SaaS for 50+ enterprise clients at 99.8% uptime.
  • ▸Built an employee management system serving 60,000+ employees with role-based access control.
