About Me
I am a graduate in Computational Mathematics from Kathmandu University, Nepal, and I am passionate about applying mathematics through programming. I utilize Python and machine learning tools to develop practical applications in various fields, including computer vision, graph modeling, and more. I enjoy understanding the math behind ML models, not just using them, and turning that understanding into real-world projects. Outside of math and technology, I stay active in community programs and group activities, maintaining a balanced perspective between tech and social life.
