Student, University of Melbourne

Bachelor of Science (Data Science)

with a Specialisation in AI

I grew up in Kathmandu, Nepal, and I am now pursuing my undergraduate studies in Melbourne. During my degree, I've had the chance to learn about data science, AI and machine learning.

Beyond academics, I enjoy reading a wide range of literature and working on fun projects that challenge me to learn and grow.

This is where I write about things that interest me and document my projects
