Graduate Research Assistant

University of Nebraska Omaha, USA

• Developed a system that analyze the data from waist-mounted triaxial accelerometer and generates an activity profile of a person. Computed energy expenditure to find the correlation between hearing loss and mobility of aging agricultural farmers.
• Utilized feature selection and machine learning techniques to classify different types of activities using data collected from wrist-based accelerometer improving accuracy from 85% to 94%.

Software Engineer - Machine Learning

Coac GmbH, Berlin, Germany

• Led a team of four to create a RAG-based question answering system to query on private documents and databases. Implemented efficient APIs with token-based authentication collaborating with the frontend team.

Software Engineer - Artificial Intelligence

Dogma Group, Kathmandu, Nepal

• Led the project to develop a system that ranks the clients based on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data.
• Designed a system that extracts header, footer, and table information from purchase invoices & deployed it to production reducing manual extraction time by 40%. Fine-tuned LayoutLM model for header / footer information and table transformer model from Microsoft for table extraction on in-house manually annotated data.

Software Engineer - Machine Learning

Fusemachines, Kathmandu, Nepal

• Led the project to develop a classification model to detect fake Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Gucci bags from the real ones. Located different areas of interest in the images to extract meaningful information, improving sensitivity from 90% to 95% and specificity from 87% to 95%.
• Created a system to rank the resumes of candidates based on the job description that achieved an overall recall of 84%. Experimented and evaluated the results of keyword-based and transformer-based named entity recognition to extract relevant skills from resumes.
• Developed AI-enabled product to automate information extraction from handwritten forms. Improved Nepali OCR system for handwritten texts from 27% to 15% character error rate with regularization, hyperparameter tuning, and error analysis. Also, worked on information extraction from PDFs using classical image processing and deep learning techniques.
• Selected among the top 25 students out of 1000+ applicants for the AI Fellowship program.
