~$ cat whoami.txt

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate from Kathmandu University (Feb 2026), with a focus on building data infrastructure, and AI applications.

At KyraWorks I work on the layer most junior engineers don't get near: multi-tenant distributed SQL, cryptographic audit trails with, PII encryption, and the Terraform / CloudWatch / EventBridge stack.

I also do NLP research in the Nepali language domain — translating legal texts with the Nepal Law Commission and mining arguments from district court verdicts. Two papers | ICAIL 2026.

Outside the terminal: hackathon organiser, KUCC Secretary, and someone who loves movies, standups, and obsessing over tech startups.

Data Pipeline Developer

KyraWorks Pvt. Ltd.
  • Architected multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure on distributed SQL database — schema isolation, replication topology, connection pooling.
  • Implemented Row-Level Security (RLS) middleware enforcing tenant isolation at DB layer.
  • Built immutable audit logging — cryptographically verifiable append-only logs for compliance-sensitive mutations.
  • Designed PII encryption using AWS KMS: envelope encryption, automated key rotation, data classification policies.
  • Provisioned AWS infra with Terraform: CloudWatch, EventBridge, backups, drift analysis.
  • Built Python/SQL ETL ingestion pipelines delivering curated datasets for ML training
