About Me
Highly motivated Software Engineering graduate with over 5 years of experience specializing in backend development using Python and Django. Passionate about building reliable, high-performance data processing solutions and contributing to data-informed decision-making.
Skilled in developing scalable applications and optimizing system performance, with a strong interest in learning and excelling in the energy trading domain. Based in Pokhara, Nepal, I focus on creating robust backend systems with excellent performance and maintainability.
Recently, I've expanded my expertise into generative AI applications, developing systems leveraging Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques. I build intelligent chatbots and AI-driven data analysis solutions that transform how organizations interact with their data and customers.
