I'm a software engineer with 10+ years of experience, passionate about building scalable systems and contributing to open-source. I enjoy the challenge of designing core components for data automation, developing robust systems, and creating efficient client libraries (SDKs). Recently, I've been diving deep into machine learning, building a model to predict product health. It's mind-blowing to see AI doing its thing! I'm also super excited to be sharing what I've learned about Vertex AI, generative AI, and all things Google Cloud at GDG Kathmandu.
