About me
I am a Master’s student in Data Science (Research Master) at Hochschule Bielefeld, building on my background as a graduate computer engineer from Nepal Engineering College. Machine learning, deep learning, and software development are my core strengths, and I have specialised expertise in image processing, computer vision and generative AI.
I am currently focusing on implementing deep learning algorithms efficiently on resource-constrained edge devices (FPGAs, microcontrollers). I am actively seeking opportunities and collaborations in data science, deep learning, and software development projects that contribute to real-world solutions.
