- Contributed to a trilingual Nepali–English–Tamang machine translation project.
- Continuing research and co-authoring a research paper on this work (in progress).
Projects
Flask • Gemma (multimodal) • RAG • edge-tts
- Built a pipeline that transcribes photographed Nepali legal documents and splits them into clauses using the document's own numbering.
- Grounded each clause against the actual text of Nepali law (Labour Act 2017, National Civil Code 2017) via embedding-based retrieval over a cached corpus.
- Generated plain-language, per-clause explanations with risk flags and citations, streamed to the browser as each clause completes; added on-demand text-to-speech and free-form Q&A over the processed document.
React • FastAPI • Node.js/Express • PostgreSQL • Whisper • MentalBERT • Wav2Vec2
- Built an end-to-end screening platform that transcribes a user's spoken reflection with Whisper and analyzes both text and audio.
- Combined MentalBERT text embeddings with Wav2Vec2 acoustic embeddings via late-fusion to classify mental health condition, likely trigger cause, and depression risk level.
- Implemented the full stack: a FastAPI inference server, a Node/Express + Prisma API and database layer, and a React/Vite frontend.
Python • PyTorch • Streamlit • PyDeck
- Developed a multimodal AI system for detecting wildfires, illegal logging, and poaching from drone and CCTV feeds.
- Built an audio classifier capable of detecting chainsaw sounds and gunshots using a dual-model approach.
- Created an interactive threat map with one-click ranger dispatch using Streamlit and PyDeck.
Other Projects
- ChitraDartaa: Civic issue reporting app with GPS-tagged images, YOLO-based issue detection, and a Flask dashboard.
- RiskMapper: Cascading earthquake-risk simulation for Kathmandu with evacuation-route planning.
- GameVault: C++ mini-game arcade (Snake, Pong, Space Invaders) with real-time multiplayer over ENet.
- XRAI: Healthcare AI tool for rapid chest X-ray screening in rural clinics; built for KU Hackfest 2025.
Open Source Contributions
- doc2tex (Co-creator): Open-source DOCX ↔ LaTeX converter preserving tables, images, equations, and multilingual content. 56+ GitHub stars and 6 forks.
